Drinking while breathing?
Question:
Answers:
When you feel an anxiety attack coming on, take slow breaths.; count to 5 to yourself. Then if possible, go drink a glass of water to calm you down. It's very impt to breathe and not hold your breath. As you might get lightheaded and pass out due to poor blood circulation; thus oxygen to your brain.
However, in swimming, you have to learn how to relax and hold your breath while swimming underwater. Don't worry!
The techniques of holding your breath underwater requires a lot of skills and practice. That's why athletes are good at what they do due to prolonged hours of practice. Practice makes perfect.
By the way, what triggers your anxiety or panic attacks? Once, you can identify the causes ; then you can correct them. or avoid them. Panic attacks will just create an enemy to yourself!!!!
Don't feel so stupid.! The adolescent stage is an awkward stage. In time, you will learn to breathe slow and easy and not hyperventilate. Eventually, your breathing should come as a second nature, and you won't have to focus on your breathing. All you have to focus on- is to accomplish your goals e.g. 5 laps, perhaps.
You may need more help than just for the anxiety. Sounds like paranoia is stepping in. Seek a Phsychiatrist/Physchologist.
Try taking slow, deep breaths to help calm you down and then take a drink. Yes, stop breathing to take a drink. If you breath while taking a drink, you'll choke.
the best thing u can do is stop over analyzing what your doing, because that just makes u more anxious. your body naturally takes care of what ure supposed to do when u drink-breathe or not. I'm certain when u swallow for that split second ure not breathing
well since you can't do both at the same time and you do concentrate on your breathing, maybe you should concentrate and try hold your breath for a few seconds.get used to it again. once you get used to holding it then you could drink easily. but try to hold your breath for longer periods. i mean, you know you not actually gonna pass out.
and i suppose try keep calm as well
gd luck
go watch a movie or do something to get your mind off of it, eat a handfull of peanuts and take a drink of pepsi, you'll figure it out.
you can be treated for anxiety. I started having anxiety problems and I found out my heart skips a beat and I just became "aware" of it. I've been tested and its normal and now my anxiety is gone now. You need to speak with a doctor.
For the moment however drink and breath out your nose:)
