Hi Blue It sounds sort of like it was a nightmare,and you woke up,and it created a panic attack,and you where not fully awake for awhile.

Do you have allergies? I do. The pollen in the air might have something to do with it. Sometimes my lungs get sort of heavy with the annoyance of fear. Sometimes they get heavy when I have a allergy attack. Sometimes this developes into a anxiety attack.

Fears symptoms are so confusing sometimes. Some people put a rubber band on their rest and snap it,to divert their thoughts to the rubber band. I'm not saying that this is right for everyone. BF
