I’m not really holding it. I’m just not really breathing. It’s the slightest breeze only to keep me alive. It’s quiet, not disruptive even in complete silence. Deep breaths make me dizzy.

I've always felt way more out of breath than it seemed like I should be after going up a flight of stairs. I'm not in the best shape, but I'm not awful either. I realized last year that I hold my breath every time I go up stairs 🤦 now I do my best to remember to breathe

Might this be why I struggle with breathing when I do my Pilates classes? I often catch myself holding my breath. Also often times the instructor says we should breathe *out* when we do the reps and breathe *in* between reps but I seem to naturally wanna do the opposite and it’s hard to reverse what I’m doing.

it's also a common dysautonomia symptom -- and we may not even realize that we're doing it. It's not conscious

Took me too long to realize when my coach said “breathe” that I needed to exhale and not try to take in more 🤦♂️

I find that I don't hold my breath so much as take very small breaths, and then from time to time a larger one. I may hold my breath too, by I don't notice as much.

Pre-diagnosis I was shocked when I learned other people didn’t have to actively tense their muscles before using them. For example, light tensing my legs before lifting a box. Couldn’t fathom how that worked
