I am 22 and will start uni next week. However, for the last month, I've been having constant urges to take deep breaths, for my lungs to feel "satisfied" Almost every minute. I think this started after a panic attack that I had. I went to my GP, had an X-ray scan, had my oxygen levels tested, blood pressure as well, liver and kidneys tests. Nothing. It seems everything is completely normal. Which makes me think this is probably anxiety related. I am a very nervous person. However, when I am not thinking about it, it still happens, but not very often.
The problem is that I am very scared whether this will affect my studying at the university. Will it prevent me from memorizing the study material? Unfortunately, I can't prolong the start of the university, just for the sake of the breathing problem disappear. I can't wait forever to start my education.
And since the doctors can't find what's wrong with me, I have to deal with this and go through university with that problem on my mind. Any suggestions on how to cope with this? I would kindly appreciate. Thank you.
