I wanted to thank you all for your input. You were very helpful

What I did was print out something about the "drawing up of muscles", "muscle contractions" and "dystonia" for my physical therapist. What we decided to do is take short rest periods in between my excercises at PT, so that my body won't get so overloaded. It's helped somewhat, but...

I have been having these attacks of heavy harsh breathing, incredible pain and the feeling of faintness. I feel as if I am going to pass out, and I cannot see straight from the pain. I try and get my breathing under control, and relax a few minutes and it will fade out. Does anyone else know what I am talking about? I HATE the feeling- if I overdo it and the pain rises and rises this will happen.
