I have this problem that happens every seven year where I am not able to breathe period can t exhale or inhale and it last for about 10 min but after 5 min I can t see everything goes black but I am able to move and I m still in control and the only way for me to get rid of it is by slmai g my chest against the ground super hard because when I don t do it hard it won t work. What do you think it is?

Hi,

I don't think any correlation between your symptoms. But better to get done a CT brain (to rule out brain pathology) and CT thorax (to rule out lung pathology). If all these are normal then no need to worry for major brain and lung pathology.

Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
