thanks for the input everyone, i got a lot of gut health stuff to learn about. i decided to fast yesterday on a whim to see how much it would help and boy howdy did it. i feel calm and patient, my gut feels quiet and no longer looks like i'm pregnant, my breathing is easier

hmm okay guys it's really starting to seem like i have some kind of moderately serious gut health issue. IBS or something? i burp a lot and my gut often feels bloated / swollen / distended. anyone have recommendations for what keywords to search for to find a specialist? twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/st…

i kinda got so used to this that i forgot about it but normally i always feel like i'm not getting quite enough air and i always want to hyperventilate slightly (this has gotten better but hasn't gone away), and whatever that is it's *way* reduced. also feeling a lot less antsy

the efficacy of following the buteyko method and getting serious about nose breathing was surprising. anxiety levels way down, reduced asthma dramatically... turns out chronic hyperventilating through your mouth is pretty bad for you
