Dear cwiktorski:

I feel the not being able to breath thing alot and a couple things that help me are, one KNOWING that my body will not allow me to stop breathing, even if you pass out, your body will take care of itself and continue breathing normally, 2ND, it helps to breath thru a straw. My Dr. told me it is impossible to hyperventalate or pass out while breathing thru a straw.

I am new here too and hope I can help somebody, as everyone seems to want to help me.
