its anxiety, i have been to the doctor and er many times for this, it feels as though im not getting enough air in when i breathe through my nose and i have been through the chest pains (the worst) but just realize it for what it is ANXIETY...im still going through it but i am progressing everyday, what helps me is engaging in a conversation, my mind then drifts away from my breathing and i feel great, and with the going to sleep and fear of not waking up, oh boy have i been through that lol, one day i just got so tired of it that i said screw it if i die then i die and slept through the anxious feeling and guess what i lived, you will be ok we are part of the millions who deal with this dreaded anxiety, u will get better i promise!
Hi! I am just after stumbling across this site today with many of the same symptoms above, I have been told too from my doctor that it is anxiety which I have nothing to be anxious over! I was on Mercillon contraceptive pill for a year and a half, I went to the doctor about symptoms of loss of breath, pins and needles, numbness in my head and she said it was a type of migraine which leads to loss of breath etc. she put me on Cerzerette which I took for 3 days and turned into a raving looney tune!!!! Also one day I had the most awful headache and by that night, I couldnt even lift my head off my pillow or see it was that bad so I just threw the pill out and have been off it exactly a month today! The pins and needles and numbness has faded with almost no headaches but the loss and shortness of breath has got worse, I would be sitting in bed just watching tv and feel as though I cant breathe, sitting at work and would have to go to the toilet to try and get a decent breath into me, this morning on the way to work I felt as though I was going to faint I could not breathe!! I have made an appointment to see the doc this evening but want to know has anyone else got these symptoms from coming off the pill? I dont want her to just pass it off as that or anxiety when I should be going for tests?? :'(

Try reading the Panic Attacks Workbook by Carbonell. I promise it will help you and explain everything you are going through along with the feelings. Take care and order this book as soon as possible. It dfeinitely can't hurt!
This all sounds familiar. The first thing to do is go to your family doctor and get some blood work, an ECG to check your heart; to verify its nothing serious. Anxiety can sure make you feel like there is something really wrong with you. Your mind is very powerful and you have to take some steps to get rid of the anxiety. Your doctor will help you determine the serverity and the type of anxiety you have.They usually use an antidepressant in severe cases but a lot of people with anxiety tend to worry about the medication and its side effects so it can be a little nerve racking. I took Cipralex but I found myself worrying about that so I decided to go without. Anyway, secondly, get in touch with a mental health service in your area; they have great tools to help rehabilitate your mind so the anxiety does not control everything in your life. The best thing to do is keep thinking positive, try and distract your mind with something positive rather than sitting around worrying. Anxiety is a natural form of defense our bodies take on when we feel threatened. Just allow the anxiety to pass through, and say to yourself" its just anxiety, its nothing serious, everything is fine" it helps me when I find myself getting into panic mode. Check out this website. It has over 100 symptoms of anxiety... but like i said, rule out any serious health problems before hand. Hope this helps

I feel like body is going to just plop dead lol. But idk its scary. My doctor said its normal. I take 2 tbs of bendryl to help piut me tosleep. My doctor suggested it. Just think u can get thru it and everything will be ok !
hi and im a kid and sometimes when i lay down it feels like i cant breathe and feels like there is something in my throat and when i go to eat it feels like im going to choke and this all started a long time ago but it got bad when my dad went to the hospital for his heart his heart was fluttering and i cry every night when he was there and then about five weeks ago he had back surgery and then when he got out he had a really bad back spasim and i went up with my mom and dad and the look on his face was bad i never saw him in so much pain and then when he got out that time w weeks later he got stuck in bed and that wasnt that bad he came home the next day and then 1 week later my dog died my first one he had a heart mermor and he was 13 when we got him and he had one then but he had a stroke and broke something and we had to put him down and that was hard and my gram has breast cancer and some lung cancer it has just been hard this past 2 years and i think it is just anxiety but idk but if someone can give advice to deal with it please help
Sometimes I feel as if my hear stop beating for abour half a second
hello every one, first of all i want to tell u that you are not alone theres so many people that are going through the same exact thing, and yes i do believe is anxiety, i myself have been a chronic anxiety victim for the past 4 months. i've been to the doctors to the ER TWICE thinking i was having a hard attack and every day off my life i get the shortness off breath and the chest pain and yes it scares me too, but than i remind my self that i am not alone that if god wanted me dead i would be dead already so thats when i trust in him the most and just accept what i am going through and live my day like it was my last.:) so try your best to always stay positive and happy ik its hard sometimes but we have to start paying attention to all the beautiful things god has giving us, enjoy life and ignore worrys ignore all the negative thoughts. that has been the best answer for me, i have tried antidepressents before and trust me they did not help me at all it only got me worst, to me what works is god and me i have the solution to this it will take time but i know that me and only me have the magic to stop it:0)
i think i have been dealing with anxiety for the past couple of months i get the chest pains the feeling like i cant breathe that i have to remind myself to breathe and that get really annoying. i know that its all in my head because when im focused on something else i dont think about it. i just wnat to be able to live my life the way i did before. i feel like a prisoner can anyone help me? any suggestions on what made you feel better... people to recover from this right? i know its not going to happen over night but its gets very tiring and its draining
I have the same SOB and its any time i think about breathing( which sounds weird why would u thing about that) ive had it since i was a kid but it happens more lately its like if i take one intentional breath then my automatic reflex stops and i have to make myself breath until i stop thinking about it. its got to be mental not physical kuz it goes away when i get distracted by something it goes away then i notice the relief which makes me think about breathing again. the only thing that will make it go away for the whole day is smoking pot and i think its kuz then i forget about it all together and it wont come back up in my head also exercising seems to help anything to get your mind off of it. its got to be anxiety but im not anxieous about any thing that i know of when it happens in face when i stress out about stuff it really doesnt happen because im busy thinking about what ever im freaking out about. what is that

if anxiety isnt your issue you might want to look into heart problems like restrictive cardio myopathy.
