Dear Doctor Kirren, This is a fantastic video, right on point. They also call it Sensorimotor old, well the ones who enjoy being labeled. I have been going through this hyperbody, hyperbody awareness for many years, and is actually debilitating.🙏
Dear Dr Kirren. I'm messaging from Australia and have just bought your book. I'm suffering from GAD and fight anxiety and the physical symptoms daily and it feels like it is controlling my life. Breathing and other physical effects now dominate my life and my thinking. Breath hunger and over thinking how to breath now dominate my day and thoughts. I am to see a psychologist next week. I'm not sure how long I can go on like this. I found your videos today, 17/8/2024. Brought me to tears to understand that what I deal with not unique and there may be help. Thank you. Look forward to listening to your book this evening. Many thanks John.
Thank you so much! I've struggled with this for as long as I can remember, but I'd had a break from it for a while until it got suuuper bad yesterday and my therapist sent me this!! So good to know I'm not alone
amazing explanation. This makes total sense and i think it may be what I'm experiencing. I have been having the sensation of not being able to get a full satisfying breath especially when exercising. I had multiple tests done including air spirometry, stress test, echo of the heart etc.. and everything came back normal.
The manual breathing part is so true! I don’t have a bad control pause, it’s usually between 17-20 and sometimes I can get to 30. But I believe my problem is more somatic breathing OCD. Because find myself being obsessively hyper aware of my breathing.
Excellent information. I've been dealing with air hunger for three years. It comes and goes at its pleasure. I didn't see a link to the second video. Can you direct me to it?
Hello dr kirren thanks so much for your video ! Is also apnea related to anxiety? I’ve had severe anxiety and sometimes I catch myself containing my breath and in apnea and it makes me more anxious 😰
This is exactly me and has been for over a year now! My anxiety subsided many months ago but my air hunger switches on and off each day - for hours at a time. I do over focus on breathing, it does become manual instead of automatic and my chest does tense. How do you relax your chest muscles?
I came across your video & have struggled on and off for years with shortness of breath (air hunger). I have times it goes away then all of a sudden appear & I do not even feel like I am anxious when it arrives.
Air hunger is NOT entirely due to anxiety or depression, or asthma. Many times it could mean B1 or Iron Deficiency. Which poses a significant risk factor for low oxygenation in body tissues, which left untreated could lead to heart failure, air hunger (in B1) and low energy and fatigue (Iron) , Breathlessness , deficiencies in vit E, Copper, B6, B12 or B9. Sometimes it is not all "in your head."
Dr kirren I want to tell you that i also feel that i cannot take deep breath i feel heavy when i breath but it stated lasted 2 month during my boards exam but how can i control my focusing on my breath i think this is anxiety please please please reply i am vry tense so i how cam i cure this 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Daily breathing exercises can be a great way to manage anxiety, but for people with obsessive worries about their breathing, where they become fixated on their breathing, it might be best to figure out the best way to use them by getting professional advice.

Is there a follow up video somewhere? I can’t find it.

This was very helpful doctor. I can't see the follow up video with the solutions.

Hi Dr. K, did you ever make a follow up video to this one?
Follow up video?

I'm going to post a detailed video on exactly what to do about this.
I had this and it lasted several weeks. It’s been a lot less now that I know it’s from anxiety
It’s great to hear that it settled down, thank you for sharing this. 😊

I need help , I have health anxiety

Do you offer consultations ?

If we do daily breathing exercises, are we overfocusing on our breathing?
Daily breathing exercises can be a great way to manage anxiety, but for people with obsessive worries about their breathing, where they become fixated on their breathing, it might be best to figure out the best way to use them by getting professional advice.
How do you get rid of it
Honestly just try and not think about it and keep yourself busy
It seens the cause of my Air Hunger
Thing is we never stop breathing even if we hyper focus our bodily automatically breathes and never stops
Do you do one on one sessions? What is your email plz?
Very beautiful lady.
This is really helpful. Is there a follow-up video?
what medication can help with this??
It depends on each person and their situation, it's best to discuss this with your doctor.
