Boy, can I understand this. I had a...I dunno, pain spasm, I guess after my surgery, and I clenched up tighter than a frightend clam, and could NOT relax, which only prolonged things. I knew I needed to untense, but I just couldn't until I got some anti-angxiety meds in me. And with all this I could only take shallow breaths. Thankfully I was on oxygen, which helped me mentally. Er, knowing that I had extra oxygen streaming up my nose kept me from being even more anxious.
