I have a couple of questions if anyone can answer any of them, please.

EYES
Is it normal to have a pain in your head when you open the curtains or walk into a bright room?
And is it also normal to sometimes not be able to see properly after seeing bright light?
I was just wondering if this is just a sensory thing and nothing to worry about or if I'm dying or something. :?

BREATHING
Is it normal to sometimes not be able to breathe in properly when you breathe in deeply?
Or for it to hurt when you try that?
And is it OK for it to be really obvious that you're breathing, like for yur shirt to move when you breathe? Does this happen to everyone or is there something wrong with my lungs?

if it's a tight shirt...or if it's touching my chest (donno how it is for you-since you have breasts)

The eyes sound normal to me, as does the breathing, but when I breath deeply it doesn't hurt.

I find breathing through my
eyes difficult. I prefer to use
my ears.

Eyes: perfectly normal, especially for a sensitive person.

Lungs: you’re experiencing a rough time due to anxiety; when you’re anxious your body draws blood from “less” essential organs and fills up your heart, lungs and other muscles that you use when you run or fight. That’s why you need to take deeper breaths…hence why your shirt moves when you breath. I’m unsure of why you’re experiencing pain in your chest, it might be due to muscle tension (from anxiety) or breathing too deeply compared to what you’re used to (thoracic diaphragm pain for example).

E: also, when you're anxious, it feels like you aren't taking in enough air even when you breathe deeply; you are.
