I´ve been using OF 3 for almost one and half month and in recent days I´m feeling like pressure in my chest along with throat pressure as well, but surprinsingly enough it vanish when I´m sleeping or deeply relaxed, I also feel depressed at times but it´s been four days since this started, the first day was the worst, I even felt hard to breath or needed to breath more and at the end of the day I was pretty tired, the second day barely feel it but also felt tired, yesterday it appeared again but it was more tolerable and today it´s even more tolerable but still feeling it, and sometimes the pressure fades like at the end of the day or at noon, I wonder if has something to do with OF but due to circumstances I haven´t go to check myself.

I also have experienced before waking up in the morning feeling great anxiety and my body trembling like crazy (not happening currently) with sleep issues and when using OF 2 there was a time that I feel dizzy for two whole weeks so my subconscious gets pretty annoying sometimes.

So that´s about everything, I will keep reporting if something crazy happens.

Welcome.  Kinda sounds like anxiety/panic.  What is your usage pattern right now?

Keep posting - there's a great community here to help.

There is also usually a cycle of symptoms.  At first you feel great.  Then as the really scary stuff starts being dealt with, you start having whatever symptoms, and then as you work through and get past the fear, the symptoms go away.  This may repeat as you deal with different fears and layers of fears.  Not everyone will experience this.  Some people don't have any symptoms, or may only experience whatever symptoms once.

I have different symptoms from using OF than I do from using UMSv2, but in both cases they are the result of the fear removal process.  It's just working with different fears held by different parts of my awareness that are associated with different parts of my brain, which control different parts of my body.

Don't jump to conclusions and assume or expect negative things.  That just makes things worse.  I'm informing you of the facts.  I've done what is possible to keep things to a minimum.  Beyond that, the way is through.  Use it properly and it will do the rest.  I find that increasing exposure can help significantly, so you may want to try increasing loops by 1 per ASRB2 cycle and see if that helps.

If I recall correctly, Shannon explained to me that your subconscious resistance literally causes your body to tense up as if you were trying to resist something physical. It will go away once you work through those layers of resistance. And then it might or might not come back again, and go away again, and so on, and so forth, while every time you dig a little deeper.
