    Shortness of breath, air hunger (fingernails blue), and even waking up gasping for air at night have been some of the worst symptoms for me, as well. As I’m recovering these symptoms have subsided, thank goodness! Great advice! Thanks for your videos!

      Whenever breathing difficulty occurs, especially if breathing is narrow / shallow and feels like your hitting a dead end in the lungs, as if the lungs are clogged or refuse to fill, it is worth checking the Neuro transmission aspect, meaning are the lungs receiving the signals from the brain or is something affecting the transmission in the cervical spine. I think starting at vertibraes atlas C1 going to C6 can influence breathing if the are shifted and pinching on nerves or spinal canal.

    You are the first one that talked about that weird jittery feeling when you are about to fall asleep.
    I had that when my nervous system was out of wack. It was impossible to sleep. I remember I was extremely extremely sleepy but my body would go into that weird jittery thing to wake me up or I dont know what. It was coupled with breathing problems too. I would be on the verge of falling asleep and my breathing would stop and my body would jitter like if it got electrocuted. Such bad memories..... no one can understand these insane feeling unless they go through them.

      same here. Sometimes I was falling asleep, only to wake up five minutes later because my heartbeat was so fast. and my breath out of control. what helped me so much was to tape my mouth in the night and nose breathing. I was sleeping through the nights after one week. I read a lot of books about breathing and it helped me so much. I really hope that I will never experience this feeling again. It was the worst

    This video is soooooo true... once I was in the emergency room and they scanned my lungs and told me everything looked good 👍- I stopped freaking out so much about it. And these vids made me realize it's just my nervous system. God bless anyone reading this who is looking for reassurance. Just have the doctors check out your lung and make sure it's nothing else going on. And practice deep- long breathing. And relaxation breathing techniques 👍

  • @jesusmanuelm5653
    @jesusmanuelm5653 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I started with just fatigue and recovered in 3 days. On my third relapse the leg weakness started and my recovery took 1 month. In the fourth relapse I had shortness of breath and then my recovery took a month and a half. The more symptoms I had, the longer it took me to recover because I was so scared.
    One of the things that made it clearer to me that it is not the body but the nervous system is that in one of the relapses I was given prednisone. This medicine, taken for a few days, causes a feeling of euphoria. For two weeks I was euphoric and on the second day of the relapse I was even able to run for 30 minutes. There was nothing I couldn't do because my mentality was positive and the fear of everything was gone.
    When I finished the prednisone I relapsed again because I kept pushing myself. Then the shortness of breath prevented me from walking normally, I walked very slowly in case I relapsed, but after a week I realised that it was just fear and I started to recover because I continued to do things even if it was slowly and with shortness of breath until this sensation disappeared.
    Now I relapse when I think I am well and I do something much more than normal. I overdo it and I find it hard not to do it, but at this point where I can almost live a normal life, I don't know how to move on to the next point because I always relapse when I do too much.

      Dang, you really went on a crazy rollercoaster ride! Sounds a lot like me, push and crash, get better and get worse, one step forward two steps back. The solution is simple and deep down I think you know what you need to do - stop overdoing it. Stop trying to play catch up. When you recover and learn to not overdo things and learn to find a balance in your health you'll be able to live an amazing life. It's tempting to try and catch up when you feel like life is leaving you behind, but just know that life is not a race / competition and we are all on our own unique journeys.

    Oh Miguel I am so sorry to hear you lost your grandfather during your illness. I cannot even imagine and it makes me so sad even thinking about it. Support is critical during our illness because it's so complicated & no one can relate. I've had 30 year old friends basically disappear which added insult to injury. But you know what, your grandmother and grandfather's prayers were answered not only through your recovery but in how you're using that nightmare experience to help others!! That's why we're here and it sounds like it was God's purpose for your life. I can relate to everything you said and then some. It's just unfortunate that recovery seems to be a slow process.

    Wow, at 7.33 when you mention that jolt when you try to fall asleep, I have been getting that myself. It's awful. Plus the breathlessness. I had that the first round of CFS back in the 1990's when i first crashed, but without brain retraining I made about 50%-ish recovery over a number of years, new living environment, supplements, read a few books on ME/CFS by alt. Drs, helped a lot at that time. Whenever I did too much though, the breathlessness would start up and I'd get a 'sick' weird feeling and knew to stop and rest for a few days. This time though(August 2022), the crash was so much more severe coupled with a few extra, now diagnosed health issues, but the CFS/ME/Fibro symptoms have been far worse than even the first time I crashed with it so really grateful for your videos Miguel. They really are helping so much.

      I really sympathise with your loss of your grandfather. That must have been so hard for you to lose not just your beloved grandfather but also an important physical support person.
      I have few support people myself, one helps once a week, the other for the occasional medical appt, the rest of the time I am by myself so there is that anxiety of being reliant on a body doing it's CFS routine ups and downs.

    Air hunger can feel super scary and so uncomfortable.
    Totally agree with Miguel that the mind is a very powerful thing.
    But please don't underestimate the effects of things like dehydration, iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, low potassium levels, certain parasite infections and metabolic issues.
    If working on your "software" and nurturing your nervous system isn't resolving the air hunger then please ask your physicians for some basic nutrient tests. A combo of trauma, gut issues and last but not least IRON DEFICIENCY ruined my life and many times I wondered if I would make it through or even wanted to go on living.
    Often chronic fatigue seems really complicated. But sometimes, just sometimes, some major pieces of the puzzle can be missed by even the good doctors and can turn out to have a simple fix.

    The shortness of breath and lightheadedness was so frustrating, especially after being extremely fit all of my life. That symptom appeared months before I realized I was sick at age fifty. Than the weight gain from losing my ability to exercise and probably the meds they put me on. The before on left side of my profile picture was after a couple years with CFS. Taking control of my diet helped me lose the 75 lbs I gained after being sick for a couple years.

    2) After i got covid 6 months ago i have 24/7 shortness of breath (and cfs). In rest i am continuously self directing my breath instead of the breathing takes care automatically on its own and if i stress my breathing becomes much worse. Will my shortness of breath become automatically when my nervous system will go out of the fight or flight slowly? It feels like i am the only one that has air hunger 24/7. This is a serious question for me.
    3) (No question) Keep up the good work and may God reward you for helping people.

    I find it much easier when you have symptoms and "only" have to suppress your anxiety because you are worried that your heart will give up or your lungs won't get enough air, because you can explain it logically. My fears about the symptoms relate purely to the disease and are not so easy to push away because they point scientifically to the disease, for example: I know I get shortness of breath because the mitochondria don't work properly due to cfs, when I get into the aerobic zone through pots, I know that I crash, that's also the reason why we should run slowly for 5 minutes rather than jog for 1 minute. I know the scientific and biological background and it scares me. So when I get shortness of breath I don't think "oh my lungs are giving up" which is an irrational emotional thought, I think "shit, that's stressing the body too much because it's stressing itself without me doing anything, other symptoms like palpitations at night will follow, which leads to insomnia" . Even without a single thought, the body stresses itself with the symptoms, I know that. I'm not afraid that my body will give up, my fears only relate to "is my body so scared now that it's draining my energy again, or is it making me crash in capacity". Unfortunately, these are logical and not emotional thoughts that cannot simply be pushed away. The illness itself does stress me out not the symptoms. That was why i was ignoring the symptoms for so long until capacity Drops.

    How did you overcome it? Because you are always saying hear on your body. I have times where breathing is so exhausting and i then get affraid of that the energy is not there to breathe and that i would stop breathing. How can i Deal with it, because it makes a lot of fear when you think that your energy to breathe is empty in 5 Minutes. So i have to fight for breathing and that is exhausting too. I do not know how to stop that. Any idea? Because telling me that it is only my nervous system does not help because it stays exhausting to breathe

    Hey miguel, I'm currently having problems falling asleep, throughout the day I keep finding myself holding my breath. Unfortunately, the problem is now not only during the day, but also when I fall asleep, I haven't completely dozed off when I notice that I'm holding my breath. I now have to breathe on purpose all day, not automatically, so that I don't hold my breath all the time, which stresses me out immensely, but at night my body no longer wants to go to sleep because I automatically hold my breath and then get constant jerks. What can I do, I can't sleep like this anymore
    It is a difference if you think you have to less air, after activity or you cant get enough air, or if you want to sleep and you realize at the Moment before you fall asleep that your brain forget to breath. For me more scary, than shortness of breath
