Ever since before I went to Kindergarten, I've had issues with breathing during anxiety. I have a hard time taking a deep breath and sometimes also have heart palpitations with it. I remember my dad telling me to "stop breathing like that" when I was little. It comes and goes - I don't remember any issues with it in high school, but it returned in college. Then it was back in my last job.
And now...here we are again. Started when I was in the hospital and has been off and on since.
Doctors across the board have said it's anxiety. The palpitations are PVCs, although I mostly don't have those anymore. I hate it. It takes so much energy. And I have no idea why I'm having issues with it again. The costochondritis makes it worse because it causes my ribcage and sternum to be very sore, so breathing deeply makes then hurt worse.
