Ever have trouble sleeping because you're focused on your breathing?

[Anonymous]

I'm confused on whether I'm just focusing on it or if I'm really stopping breathing!
I just took an anti anxiety medication (klonopin) to try to relax. I'm online reading and at times notice my breathing is regular when my mind is off of it, but then I notice I've stopped!

I'm so unrelaxed and worried. My chest had felt heavy but I was crying earlier, not sure if that's why.

It's happened to me before... it was caused (for me) by two things:

Anxiety and lack of sleep

IT's all in your mind..

You feel like you suddenly wake up and then realize you hadn't been breathing or something... yeah get some more rest. go to bed on time and get a good amount it should go away..

try to relax too

Nope, because breathing is automatic. You have anxiety? Maybe you might find some relaxation techniques here https://curepanicattacksaway.blogspot.ca/
