This is such comprehensive information🙏
All of this also is affected by nutrition. Our automatic system and nerve centers in control of breath is lacking thiamine which is necessary to produce the molecules required. Age and long lack of thiamine makes a chronic condition. Once reguler supply of thiamine is taken natural breath takes over by the body. This coenzyme is needed in maga doses daily for many weeks or months. Your must force the natural world back into position with natural means by using thiamine. Eliminate habits that make you lose thiamine.
Hello Simon, I am just 17 and experiencing like there isn't enough space in my lungs,and like my nose can't feel that oxygen. My ent told I have mild dns but is it related to pseudo dyspnea or air hunger.
Hello, I recommend you take a look at the resources on this page www.simonspire.com/breathing-resources including the article titled What Causes Air Hunger? at www.simonspire.com/blog/2023/9/3/what-causes-air-hunger In that article you'll find a section with the heading Airway Issues, which provides some information relevant to your DNS question.

I can’t believe I finally know what this is. It first happened after I had pleurisy in 2007 and then suffered panic attacks 2008 and went on for years. I think it only left when I went on antidepressants. Now it’s come back after my beloved cat died. I’ve been distraught and it’s returned and the stress is immense. I just didn’t know anyone else had It! Now perhaps I can try get rid of it, coz it’s all I can think about.
I have a constant urge to sigh deeply like take a deeep breath it can be once or twice an hour sometimes more sometimes less. And sometimes I have an overwhelming urge to take a REALLY deep breath and just hold my breath for a good 10 seconds or more and sometimes it almost hurts and makes me feel dizzy but it also is so satisfying. Does anyone else do the holding breath?
Thank you, everyone👏❤️but especially Simon.
Im not even anxious anymore im just getting pissed off
I had similar issues when I was a little kid after my parents got divorced. They thought it was constipation or something and eventually it went away. nearly 15 years later, it's back for no apparent reason. Just suffered through an entire shift at work barely able to do my job because my upper body hurts so much from forcing deep breaths.
I love you
This was an excellent video. I been dealing with air hunger for years on and off. I have times when I forget about it, and when it hits me it can last for days which is so frustrating. I am beginning to see I am not alone which years ago I thought I was.
This helped me so much thank you! Im laying awake right now convinced that I'm not getting full breaths, but my body is just full of tension. The urge to yawn or "sigh" to get that full satisfying breath is so intense. I guess the trick is learning to relax and ignore it

Im 35 and ive had air hunger since 14.... Been medically tested and im healthy
Bro that must be tortures? I have it for 2.5 years now. My breath feels stuck in the chest and it’s permanently tight there. Like I can’t relax those tiny muscles from solar plexus to chest anymore. And I basically feel like suffocating all day. Is that the same you have? It’s chronic for me
@@stormtraders yes. Do you notice that it gets better only in the morning after you wake up ?
@@joeycalogerohip-hop3727 no not really it’s there all the time now, even when i wake up from sleep. Do you have that too? And do you have any tricks for relief?
Pls try pranayama ( yogic breathing technique ) … and remember we were born breathing we know how to breathe, subconsciously.
We that cannot afford the package, how do we get help ?

This is most annoying When trying to go to sleep at night kinda of like sleep apnea
It can be kinda scary at times. Makes me anxious and hard to sleep. I have relief when I sleep. After waking up it goes back… I found myself taking up running since I felt relief in my breathing when my body was forced to demand more oxygen…. It’s all making sense now that I am learning about this condition from your video. Thank you. This sucks and it does feel like anxiety kinda. I got dismissed when this was really bad for me. I thought I was going to stop breathing in my sleep. I felt like I had to stay awake to tell myself to breathe. For a while when this condition was at its peak, I wasn’t able to fall asleep or eat. I was terrified. I went to the ER feeling like I was going to die and they gave me Xanax which was so calming and I don’t like to do drugs but that night I finally slept right. I’m not sure if it makes sense to take Xanax once every few months or a year if it starts coming up again as a way to zap you out of that state for a day and maybe reset your breathing but who knows. I’m personally hesitant on any drugs like that because I don’t wanna become addicted. Lately I’ve been feeling it come back and am wondering if I took a Xanax it would help. Whenever I hear people say take deep breaths to help destress and meditate, I always get more anxious.
I’ve just watched doctor berg who suggests it’s also connected with silent acid reflux which is interesting as I have that too so I’m looking into dietary changes . I know for me losing weight helps my breathing as I sleep better . It is curable that’s the good thing . I got rid of this then it came back when I went for an mri so I’m thinking it’s very much connected with overthinking too and fight or flight . I find just having a cup of tea and watching RUclips takes my mind off it and that’s what the body needs distraction to get back to your normal rythm of natural breathing . Once you’ve stopped being away of your breathing you’ve cracked it x
It’s also called disrupted breathing .. Thankyou for doing this channel . I have had this a while and don’t know when it started . I was fine for a while got control of it then I went for an mri where they placed something over my head and a day or two later it returned I think my thinking about the mri triggered it off it’s all very weird but it’s good to know I’m not the only one feeling this .. I find it I focus on my phone RUclips etc or a movie it settles . I’m going to try the Alexandra technique .. it’s wonderful when it stops . I’m going to beat this and get bk to natural breathing again .. I do feel lot of it can be over thinking or in fight or flight mode has somethng to do with it x good luck everyone
Thanks for your comment, Carol. Just a quick note to say that we don't recommend having Alexander lessons on their own, which often don't help enough for people with air hunger. Rather, we recommend people following the guidelines outlined on this page, including taking the course: www.simonspire.com/breathing-faqs (I saw your other comment; there's also something on that page about reflux)
Thank you for the insight, when i had many anxiety symptoms mainly breathing and I remember dealing with it and knowing it was anxiety and i was feeling like i was dying but one day i remember being tired of this fear and i thought to myself wait your body will not let you die so i decided to stop forcing breathing and let my body and while it did help i had so much tension and some stiffness that i stopped and i eventually went to physical therapy which helped and also did the belly breathing but it was the tension/stiffness that i was mainly focusing on but my breathing got better but i still had this issue not as bad but i forgot about just letting your body naturally breathing which is hard but watching this video not only helps me understand my issue but also shows me the way and while i had some of the pieces i was still lost so i didnt know what was correct. Listening to this video was very relaxing and kind of helped me to breathing naturally to some degree it will definitely take time to break bad habits but i want to be free so I'm willing to go on this journey.
Wow....this is exactly what I've experienced for 20 years! I suffered from panic attacks and anxiety for a long time and attributed it to that. Nowadays it comes and goes for me but It never completely goes away. I am a singer also and it makes it a struggle.
Something that helped me is that a social worker Renato, explained that your stomach/ lungs are like a balloon 🎈 and if the balloon is already full then you can’t fill it in more otherwise it’s uncomfortable so your body really can take in normal breaths without deep breathing leading to air hunger 😮💨
WOW 👌 👏 😍. AND I WAS SCARED IF IT WAS SOME SERIOUS THROATS DISEASE 😅 THANKS A MILLION DEAR 😊
PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU HAD A TROUBLED FROGGY GARGLING SOUND WHILE BREATHING LIKE FORCED YAWNING ? I HAVE SHOWN TO 2 ENT DOCTORS & PULMONOLOGIST BUT THEY JUST GAVE ME ANTACIDS , CARNINET E & ANTI ALLERGIC TABLETS - MOHIT VERMA. NEW DELHI. INDIA 🇮🇳
Thanks for your video. I noticed that the bed we bought might have contributed to my air hunger condition. The bed seems soft and sags around my back part. With a pillow propping my head, my entire chest area collapses inward and does not allow me to have a full breath or restricts my breathing. I experimented by propping a pillow vertically along my spine during an afternoon nap and I immediately felt better. Definitely removed my stress and worries of not breathing and yawning fully. Much thanks.
Thank you for your very helpful insights. Very precise and helpful
Does anybody know how to get rid of the tightening, suffocating feeling in your chest when you ignore a yawn and try and breathe normal? The reason I give in to the yawn is to relax that muscle but ignoring it gives me anxiety as it feels like I can't breathe. Please does anyone have any tips or do anything that helps them?
I had it two years ago and it went away on its own after a few months. 5 months ago it came back to me. I am truly devastated 💔
I have this but I have anxiety and thought it was that ??
I have been dealing with what may be this for 3 years. Wokeup one day and struggled to breathe. Been constant ever since. I do a weird sensation and try to “catch” breath. Looks like a yawn and air shoots out of my nose. Sometimes mucus buildup too as I’ve always had asthma that I thought I had grown out of. I’m 22 now and this started when I had just turned 19. We still aren’t sure if Covid, the vaccine, anxiety, sleep apnea, slight smoking (quit since), and/or allergies added to/caused this. Bizarre and frustrating to this day. My oxygen levels are normally above 97. However breathing is always hard, seems shallow a lot, and manual, etc. Thank you for always trying to help. I hope after watching all these I have a shot at improvement.
I am experiencing exactly what you described in your comment and it started when I was 19 for me too. I am 22 now and I have been Living all of this for the last 3 years. It's a nightmare, I am so afraid. I will never solve this problem. It all started after the covid vaccine, I started experiencing weight to my chest, chest pain, heavy breathlessness, arrhythmias, fatigue and so on. I got diagnosed with pericarditis, my cardiologist told me the heart is now in a good state, but I still have all these symptoms.
@@saragriselda7393 yeah we are in a similar boat. Really hoping you find progress. The only other thing I’ve been told to try is testing my Ferritin levels
It was the same with me. I'm also 22 years old, I've been feeling out of breath since I was 14 years old, and it's gone. I am currently experiencing a relapse of shortness of breath and yawning all the time. And my oxygen saturation is also 98. I even run every day with a distance of 3-5 KM without walking. I am also confused by the doctor. The doctor said everything from my mind was psychosomatic. And when I'm busy or happy, the tightness disappears and I feel unconscious and breathe normally. But when I remember later the breath is not relieved again
for me, hugs helped a lot as it simulates a deep breathing with happiness subconsciously, and release those pent up tensions in throat area. your video series gave 100% true insight.
hugs and loving touches do really help a lot !!
I do believe some over the counter medications could help a lot with this, two of those I have used myself and it was just amazing: - methylene blue - coenzyme q10 - gan mai da zao (chinese medicine herbal formula) - rhodiola rosea - trimetazadine As a therapy for the emotional part of the shortness of breath, I’m enjoying a lot one called BRMT (Bloomberg rhythmic movement therapy). Also I think it might have a lot to do with the depressive phase of bipolar disorder (i have just been diagnosed as bipolar and Ive had this shortness of breath/yawning/sighing for more than ten years now. Lots of love to all of us ♥️
Feeling this 😢❤ and sensorimotor ocd hyper focus of the breath though I struggle with anxiety but feel that thing too along with air hunger
So hard to 😢 let go of interference I hope it works! I feel like hell 😢😢😢😢
Hope it helps 😢
Thank you 😢for this I’ve been experiencing it and it’s horrible shortness of breath and chest tightness
Thank you so much for sharing this insight. My first experience was during the Covid19 lockdown. After that, it went away for a couple of years. It came back during the Christmas holiday last year, I was alone and I thought that I was going to die. I tried to call everyone and told them about it. I had a really chest pain and back pain, I couldn't get enough air. I tried to calm myself down and slept through the night. When I got up in the morning, I felt like nothing had happened. Time that I feel not getting enough air. 1. Alone 2. Thinking about death 3. Have conscious of my breathing 4. Thinking about my childhood 5. Worry about the future Time that I don't feel it. 1. Working 2. Busy 3. Focusing on doing things 4. Happy time

I have this from 10-15 years now and has done multiple heart tests and it will go off in 3-4 days
I remember hearing this in middle school while watching Channel One.
I have this right now and it’s weird because I have asma so I thought it was that. Inhailer doesn’t help they did a air breathing treatment at the ER that kinda helped make me feel smoother that’s about it. But it’s been about a week it happened for 2 days then went away and then came back again. So this makes sense hoping it will go away. I wake up feeling fine and as the day goes on it gets harder to get a breath and the yawning starts. And then the more you think about it the more you start to panic
Does it ever go away?
In our experience and in what we teach and the process we lead people through, yes, it does go away. But in our experience, it requires being in a process. For some people, improvements and resolution are quicker; for others, it takes longer. FAQs: www.simonspire.com/breathing-faqs

What are your thoughts on Buteyko breathing and capnometry biofeedback?
To answer this more fully, I'd need to write an article outlining some of the various approaches people use as they attempt to address air hunger and how these approaches relate to one another or not. I might do that at some point. For now, I'll say that while we consider CO2 imbalance to potentially play a role in the self-reinforcing dynamics of air hunger, we see the root cause-in most cases-as being disruption of the natural breathing coordination through interference (e.g., tension, restriction, malcoordination, misalignment, confusion). We created and recommend our approach (through our course Liberating the Natural Breath) because it's comprehensive: It addresses not just the self-reinforcing dynamics of air hunger, but also the underlying causes that keep it in place-and it does this without exacerbating these dysfunctional dynamics with further interference and disruption. We created it to guide people through addressing the multiple levels involved in air hunger without compounding the situation through further interference, and this is why we recommend it. We also support people in pursuing whatever works for them, so if someone wants to try another approach instead of LNB and it works well enough for them, then we're happy for them. We're committed to offering LNB as a comprehensive approach and to supporting people through that process. All public resources, plus the in-depth online course and community, can be found at www.liberatingbreath.com and www.simonspire.com/breathing-faqs
@@simonspire Thank you for the response, I'd love to read a comparison article on the various approaches! Both the Buteyko and capnometry biofeedback communities discuss breathing habits and emphasize the importance of not controlling one's breath. For example, Peter Litchfield (one of the main people in the capnometry biofeedback world) says this over and over in his writings and lectures. One of the core beginner exercises in Buteyko breathing is relaxed breathing where the diaphragm is simply relaxed rather than pushing the air out (see e.g. Artour Rakhimov's writings or Novozhilov's Buteyko Breathing Manual). So the differences between LNB and Buteyko/capnometry biofeedback are not so clear to me, so I'd be quite interested in hearing more about the differences in the approaches as you see it.
@@issarice Thanks for elaborating more on your question. I'm glad that's the overall understanding you're encountering in what you're reading. I don't want to speak for Buteyko, since I think Buteyko experts are the ones who are qualified to speak about it. In our experience, we've had a lot of people come through LNB who had previously tried Buteyko courses, teachers, and practices. Typically, their experience included regular breathing exercises that often (but not always) were quite intensive and usually involved breath holds and the like. Sometimes these exercises made their air hunger worse (because they can easily add to the existing interference); sometimes they didn't have much impact; other times, people experienced temporary but not lasting improvement (which may be due to addressing the most noticeable levels of interference but not the real source of the interference, so the problematic symptoms can soon return). I also know there are some people with air hunger who have been satisfied with their Buteyko experience and improvement. Reading the FAQs page I posted above may give you more of a sense of what's different about LNB. LNB is based on the Alexander Technique. The Alexander Technique is designed to support restoration of the coordination and alignment of the whole muscular-skeletal system. It's capable of getting to the deepest levels of interference/tension/misalignment that are often at the source of problematic breathing. We do this in LNB by entering a process of making the unconscious interference conscious in our somatic experience, which allows the opportunity for these deep sources of restriction and interference to begin to unwind. LNB seeks to address all levels of chronic breathing disruption, but this process I'm mentioning now of restoring natural coordination by unwinding unconscious interference is the basis of the deeper change process in LNB. Most other approaches to breathing aren't designed to do that. Instead, they attempt to retrain breathing with exercises that are unlikely to get to the fundamental levels of interference. Of course normal/natural breathing should be the end goal of any breathing method-so it's great that we all agree on that-but there are differences in how various approaches try to get there. LNB is based on principles and practices of the Alexander Technique, and we created it as a process that is capable of getting to the underlying/unconscious layers of interference and tension that are usually at the root of breathing tension. Until those layers are addressed to some degree, most people remain stuck in significant ways.
I'm suffering from the exact same symptoms. My cardiologist wants to rule out microvascular disease. I have been suspecting chronic breathing tension/pseudo dyspnea/sigh syndrome/hyperventilation syndrome which are all names for the same thing since 2018 but I feel the toughest part for me has been convincing myself what it is. I think its worth ruling our microvascular dysfunction if stress tests, CTCA, echocardiogram, respiratory tests have all come back normal.
What happened to me? Something was off with my sleep. It was difficult to sleep mind was too active and sharp early morning 4-7 am i use to wake up without any reason.. Two days after i started yawning too much. And after 2 more days i felt i want a stasifying breath deep to my belly.. Worst part urge starts early it takes 3-4 effort to take one satisfying breath . If happens continuously.. And due to deep breaths my organs hurts
Have you ever worked with people tapering off prescribed benzodiazapines??
That's what I'm doing what a nightmare
Mine feels random and somewhat of out of nowhere deep inhale, this also seems to happen when im actually trying to go to sleep and it wakes me up.
I've watched up until the halfway point, and from what you're describing I think I've had a very mild form of this for a while now, but only within the past couple of days has it become something more potent and certain new symptoms have sprung up. Biggest example is a tingling sensation in my extremities (feet and legs, especially), and a kind of brain fog that starts in the morning and persists into the afternoon. This is in addition to the general feeling of "not having enough air" or not being able to take a full breath. Could these (the tingling, brainfog) be potential symptoms of Air Hunger? I know it's hard to say anything with certainty without knowing my individual situation, but just wanted to get your thoughts if others that you've encountered have had similar symptoms. Overall, my particular case is not so bad and is "manageable" for day to day living, but I do like this idea of moving towards more complete and richer breathing so I'm wondering if your videos/course would help regardless of whether I have Air Hunger or just poor breathing habits built up over the years which are only now starting to make themselves known. Thanks for the videos, Simon.
Thank you for your interest. There's not a lot more we can say than what's already in the videos, FAQs page, and course description (see links at the bottom of this comment), and we can't say a lot about individual cases on RUclips. However, we do recommend discussing the symptoms you're describing (tingling, etc.) with a doctor. It's possible they could be related to breathing difficulties, but we don't have a lot of experience with those specific symptoms. The "general feeling of not having enough air" is definitely one of the experiences the course is designed to address, assuming it's from breathing disruption/interference rather than medical issues. The answer to your final question-is our course designed to help with poor breathing habits built up over the years-is yes, that's very much within the scope of what it's designed for. Hope that clarifies things a little. Here are the links and resources: All our public resources, plus the in-depth online course and community, can be found at www.liberatingbreath.com and www.simonspire.com/breathing-resources and www.simonspire.com/breathing-faqs
Actually, come to think of it, we have seen these kinds of symptoms before when there's accumulated deep tension along the back and spine. (Of course, this doesn't mean this is necessarily the case for you, and this is not a substitute for medical advice.) If you do decide to join the program, we can talk about it in more detail and in the context of your particular experience during the next Office Hours on February 10.
