Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are not having difficulty in breathing, no need to worry for this symptom.
Urge to take deep breath can be psychological sometimes.
So better to avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
If this persist for more than 1 week, it is better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these .
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
