When I relax or distract myself I do notice breathing becomes automatic and full – but it’s easier said than done. Distracting yourself from breathing is next to impossible sometimes. You just have to ride it out.

Mine usually lingers for an hour or two then subsides when I get ‘used’ to it and start focusing on other things.
