I can relate to the anxiety watching and reading the news creates, I'm completely recovered and I've had to limit my exposure. 

 

Is your breathing shallow or is it more of a pressure?  Do you practice breathing exercises?

my breathing is constricted ( badly) by tight muscles I guess, like a tight band around me, it's all day , maybe once every 15 mins I get a decent breathe, but not often, it's debilitating, and along with a rapid heart rate/tachycardia,  etc, keeps me from going out much, I stay in all the time... I tried breathing exercises, but lack the skill as I'm too hyper etc,  know any good links? I wish I knew how to get rid of this,

Since I recovered I don't really pay attention to my breathing but during that time it was front and center, it feels like the more resistance we face to taking a deep breath, the more we try which only increases our frustration and fear. 

 

Have you consulted your doctor about medication for the tachycardia, I've read a few members say it can be helpful while going through this.  I haven't used breathing exercises so I can't offer much but I popped online and saw a lot of them, maybe you could find one that's a little easier to do.  I can relate to being hyper, I think part of my problem is patience with that kind of stuff.  I never could master meditation.  :-[

last night was really bad, like almost ER level, the heart rate is all over the map,constant left side flutters palps, racing, etc, and the breathing restriction is horrible, ( I think it's termed Dyspnea, or something)  I only slept at best,  2 hours last night, because of all this, lying down makes it even worse, for some reason,  so I got back up and watched 3 older made for TV  movies Off Youtube,  doing the best I can,  I do have a doc appt with a Cardiologist on April 22nd,  , I just think this is something bad, or scary, don't like these symptoms, especially near constant since Monday... I keep telling myself it's anxiety,  hoping it is...
