I worry about things way too much and i have problems breathing. For example whenever i take a breath it goes in and when it comes out it stops at a certain point i cant take full breaths. And alot of times even when im not worrying i feel like some1 is choking my lungs with a rope and im really scared i might have an anxiety problem or even worse lung cancer! [no caps please].

Breathing Difficulty

From Cauchi (June 27, 2009)
I have a different problem. I breathe normally for about 40 seconds, then I have to take an extra big breath. Sometime I have trouble with this breath as if I have to get it over a barrier. Sometimes I get it over the barrier, sometimes I don't. Then I breathe normally for a while, then it happens again. I have had this problem for years. Anybody know what it is?
