How would you describe your air hunger to someone who’s never felt it?

I’ve been diagnosed with asthma and yet i don’t think my inhaler helps at all— I have also confused multiple doctors with how bad I do on the spirometer tests

And then you start yawning just to try to make your body take in a deep breath, or maybe that’s just me.

I have shudder breathing where I do those little gasps like a baby who’s been crying too long. It’s like several little gaspy noises in a row. It’s involuntary.

I've dealt with air hunger for so long and have tried to explain it to so many physicians, this feeling like I can't get a full breath. Most of them have either just shrugged at me or just blamed it on my asthma, even though I've told them my inhaler does not help. Diagnosed with POTS recently and now in pursuit of a hypermobility diagnosis and finally piecing it all together, thanks to creators like you.

For 30+ years I joked that I had baby lungs bc a was a preemie twin and they never developed enough for me to take a deep breath and no doctor ever questioned why I couldn’t breath?!

I’ve dealt with this for years and always thought it was my anxiety until o was diagnosed with EDS. It’s extremely annoying when it happens.

this also can be a sign of breathing pattern disorder, or can trigger developing it, very common with EDS. Muscle guarding, fascial tension, and autonomic tone can make it really hard to be able to breathe using primarily the diaphragm and ribcage elasticity. it's taken a lot of physical therapy and learning biomechanics just for me to start to learn to breathe right
