Your medical tests are clear, which is great! What you’re experiencing—frequent deep breaths, swallowing, and hyperventilation—is likely due to anxiety-driven breathing patterns. Your body has learned to over-breathe, making you feel like you need more air, even when oxygen levels are normal.
This happens because anxiety subtly affects your nervous system, keeping your breathing irregular, especially in the morning or during movement. The more you focus on your breath, the more unnatural it feels.
Try slow, controlled breathing (inhale for 4, exhale for 6-8 seconds) and gently distract yourself when you notice it happening. Your body knows how to breathe—you just need to trust it again.
