Constant Sighing/Deep Breaths...Answers?

I had sighing after a 54 yr old surgery(hysterectomy)..Bad..So, then I blamed either the meds or me being wiped out..

It lasted a long time.(up to a yr)   You do have to lay around after that..So, lack of exercise or healthy body could have cause it..

I only get it since that when I am really tired.  --Stressed--for a short time.

Thinking about the sighs can make them worse.. I just started after reading about Brandon's from 4 years ago(other site). So, mine restarted. I also try to get the deep sleep for the 8 hours. Healthy exercise,healthy food, and NO caffeine, No relaxers. JUst good social and "humor" and a calm spiritual life. That covers it!! They are gone again.

NO Sites for me...or is that a foreign language??

hi I have had this problem since I was a teenager anyhow by the I didn't know the cause of it but eventualy I realized i is asociated with a gustric condition

they call it sigh syndrome. I have it and last time I was ready to die. but all the information points toward an anxiety problem. hmph. I think it clicks in and out, but when it clicks in, the likelihood of anxiety over it can make it work. All I care about in not having episodes.

Hi, have you had your thyroid checked? A doctor can check your thyroid with a blood test. Shortness of breath, anxiety and palpitations are classic symptoms of hyperthyroidism. If ur diagnosed, I believe they prescribe medication one has to take long term. Hope this helps.

I've been sighing a lot for about a month and today it has been all day. Now I've been crying just seeing that I'm not alone. I had a complete health work up including a stress test. The only thing wrong was that I had low potassium. I tried coconut water at one point and it seemed to help. Think I need to get some more.

Mine started in 2011.  It comes and goes, though.. there are some days that I feel it but most of the time I am distracted doing other stuff and it goes away.  Sometimes I feel I need to take a deep breath, I tense the shoulders and when I feel this gnaw in my chest then I exhale.  Sometimes with a very LOUD sigh. 

I discovered that this happened because I almost died in 2011 and I had a horrible post-traumatic period.  There were other symptoms but this one was new and it scared me.  I got treated for anxiety and it worked, then I realized that the sighing and the need for deep breath are a result of improper breathing (shallow breathing) which happens subconsciously when you are stressed.  Then your lungs will tell you but you will be fine you will not die.

Although this symptom can get annoying, what makes it worse is the anxiety/paranoia. Otherwise some people dont pay attention to it.  But it gets better.  Depression also has to do with it.

Someone's enthusiastic. Either that or someone's period key doesn't work.

I agree with the PTSS diagnosis. I quit smoking exactly 19 days ago after smoking (I am so ashamed to say) for 54 years. I am using Chantix and an occasional Xanax (.25mg) in the evening only. 4 days ago, I awoke with the "sighing" (3 long sighs each time). It occurred 3 nights in a row, so now I am sure it is "sighing syndrome" and I will be ok since I know what it is....how could my body NOT react after putting all that nasty stuff in it for so many yrs?

I thought exactly the same thing re: "guest's" post. lol

I'm a teen who started sighing every thirty seconds. This all started yesterday. Do I have a problem? It scares me and I want to know what is wrong. I had mild depression but I don't know... I think it might have gotten worst.

How did this go from anxiety to heart disease. What.
