Struggling with breathing

[Joe_17]

Hey guys

For some reason I'm not breathing properly, I've had problems with palapatations and I think it may be because of that.


Anyway, if I'm out and about I don't seem to have many problems, but when I'm layed down or focusing on my stomach/inner self when negative thoughts/feelings come up (not wanting to avoid them) I struggle.

The feeling is like...I'll lay and try and watch my breath.....but when I wait and watch for it I can't hear/feel the inhale and exhale and what happens is I wait for about 6/7 seconds and then I get to the stage where I'm out of breath.

I try not to force it and I just feel it and lose my breath.

How do I get back to my default rhythm?

Thanks
