Funny breathing since ba. Is it my anxciety? x

Someone please tell me they can relate to this. I am an axciety sufferer but since having my ba 5 days ago iv really been aware of my breathing To the point ware it makes feel all dizzy and like im hyperventilating. Is this just my anxciety or is it the meds or the ba or what? x

I wasn’t so bad but I did find that for a few days I was getting really breathless doing the slightest thing, it passed after a few days

Im the same sammie, im really breathless, n find it hard to talk. Im takin fast shallow breaths. But I only had my ba yesterds n put it down yo the swelling n pressure on my chest. Since yr ba 5 days ago, do u find its got worse or stayed the same hun? Xxx

Its not like an out of breath thing. I can just be sat there then all of a sudden im aware of my breathing. And that i start breathing funny. Does that make sense? x x x

Are you still taking your pain killers? Sometimes medication can have odd side effects. Once you’re aware of it tho that may be causing you to subconsciously correct it and that can then cause hyperventilating and then bring on panic attacks, the body is a funny thing

Yes ur probably right princess. Because im aware iv done it im probably subconsciously thinking about it and expecting to do it. Thanks hun x x

If you’re worried, keep a paper bag nearby, when you feel like that again just take a few slow breaths into the bag, it will help regulate the oxygen level and stop the hyperventilating and dizziness. I found the side efects of the anaesthetic were everywhere, I felt very out of sorts and people just said to me that the ga can really knock your body out for a while. It’s very weird! Hope you’re feeling better soon, same to you as well kerryj x x

I was the same post op. I have issues with my breathing I tend to breathe thru my mouth. I felt breathless for weeks post surgery but I feel it s settled now. Princess76 is right! Paper bag if you start to panic!
