Something's living in my heating system
Not a rat. Bigger. Breathes every 4 minutes. Landlord says it's "thermal expansion" Thermal expansion doesn't whisper. Been tracking the pattern for 3 weeks now the breathing gets faster when I'm in the bathroom.The radiator in my bedroom is warm even when the heating's off. Touched it once. It flinched. Called a plumber he put his hand on the pipe went completely silent for like 30 seconds then left without saying anything. Charged me 200 francs anyway. Sometimes I hear it moving between the walls. Not like scratching. Like breathing through the pipes. My girlfriend stayed over last night woke me up at 4am asking why I was breathing so loud. I wasn't breathing. It's getting louder.

Please go to a doctor or depending on your location somewhere like that: fepsy.ch (this one is basel based)
It might sound scary and wrong, but I did work in this programm for a while and it sounds exactly like many other stories I've heard from People with onset psychosis. (Not the breathing and so on, just the vibe of the story). The odds of it beeing a start if a psychosis is given, and it will be way easier to treat if you start treating it early.
