Good luck to you with the therapist. I hope it helps. Most of the time, the breathing is mostly an annoyance. I have even earned a nickname from my boyfriend -- "scuba" -- because I wind up taking such deep breaths all the time. If I drink caffeine, oh man it gets even worse, so I avoid that completely now.
Of course, sometimes it gets so scary for me that it sends me into panic because my mind races off thinking something is really wrong with me and I'm gonna run out of air or die any minute. I'll rush to the ER...they'll check my O2 sat and it's always nearly 100%, even though I feel I can't breathe.
I hope someday I can shake this feeling completely...I hate to think my whole life will be this way.
