DIBH anxiety post treatment
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone else who underwent DIBH during RT gets anxiety when asked to hold their breathe for scans/examinations? Or if it's just me...
@JoeyLiz Yes I find focusing on my breath makes me anxious generally. When I pay attention to it I feel like I can’t breathe deeply enough , like my breaths are too shallow and I need to gasp for air. But I did get used to it during radiation after the first few times so it ended up being fine.
