@Nahm Thanks for helping! I’m 100% sure it is linked to meditation and probably something I’m not doing right there, as my lungs are healthy and I’ve had the same problem when meditating a few years back. Never had breathing problems outside of meditation. I’m using meditation to visualise and manifest positive things in my life, and I’ve been working hard on myself for years (limiting beliefs, breaking patterns etc). Other than that meditation helps to relax, stay focussed and gain energy. That’s why I am very eager to overcome this problem and continue. @Tanz I will look into that, thanks a lot!

@Leo Gura thanks for your advice. I am not breathing in deeper, pretty much the other way around. When I meditate and go deep it’s almost like I’m not breathing anymore. It’s very subtle. Could that be the problem maybe?

I starting meditating 2 months ago and it makes me feel amazing. I meditate 3 times a day. After 4 weeks my lungs started to hurt while meditating. Especially in the breathing tube in de middle of my chest. I have tried to find ways around it, but it only seems to get worse and now makes me cough heavily too, which lastst throughout the day. When I stop meditating, the pain and cough stops. The moment I start again it comes back. As a singer I am used to the belly breathing, so that’s not it. It does tend to get really bad when I’m experiencing the light radiating out, that feeling of happiness and joy that makes meditation so great. Also when I switch to that ‘light abundance’ feeling ouside of meditation it’s like I’m switching on that pain too, and have to stop. I had to stop meditating 4 years ago due to this problem. I really don’t want to stop again as it makes such a difference to my life! Any ideas?
