I don't want to trigger anyone.

I was laying in bed on my stomach and woke with a start and wasn't able to breath properly! :eek: I think it had to do with my boobs being underneath me pressing against my diaphragm. I got up and felt like I wasn't able to get a full breath and I immediately panicked. I could not breath right for a full ten minutes. It took taking a lorazepam for it to go away and for me to be able to breath fully. If I had had chest pain I would have gone to the hospital, but this was all about anxiety and breathing...

Have any of you ever had this kind of attack? I thought I was dying it was that scary! :eek:

Dear Pam,
That is awful.
I don't have any suggestions about what else might have been going on.
It does sound scary and I'm glad that you got yourself calmed back down.

Hello my turtle's friend friend ! :)

Believe it or not, precisly last night, same thing happened to me !!!! :eek: Well, something very similar....

Well, I was sleeping and suddenly, started to "hear something", as I was very tired and sleepy, I thought I was dreaming and actually started to dream that I was in a concert listening to somebody with a very irritating voice singing very near my ears.... suddenly, I realized that noise wasnt in my dreams, but in reality and that it was coming from my lungs ! :eek: I woke up and realized I couldnt breathe and that I had a terrible cough.... It didnt stop and I looked in my mirror and I swear I was already purple/blue of my face... :rolleyes: (mom say I wasnt).
Anyway, it took me 1 hour and a half to realize my lungs were full of spells/mucosa but I couldnt expel it !!!! :mad: So, fianlly I did.... but, like you, I was such in a panic attack... I couldnt breathe but I inmediately thought something was wrong with my heart and that that was causing problems with my lungs.... :rolleyes: I thought I was going to die last night at 4:40 am..... :confused:
I was really scared.....

Sorry to hear you had a panic attack too !!! :hug: At least it was that.... :o

Hope you are feeling better today. I feel exhausted.

Dear Majo,
That is scary.
I'm glad that you are all right.
Why do you think it happened when you were sleeping?

This evening I felt chapped with fear. The chapped part was the sting of fear. I don't know how to explain it,but it felt bad. I'm sorry that the three of us had fear problems this evening. No fun.

I've had the part where I would be having a hard time breathing,or I had a heavyness in my lungs,and it would take a half hour,or an hour to go away. It is related to fear I believe.

I took some medicine,had some celery,and had a salad. I hope that we all feel better. BF:hug::hug::hug:

I've also woke up with panic attacks. That is a scary thing,and I know exactly what that's like. That was about 18 years ago,when I was going through a real low time in my life. I would try to take a walk,and I felt so lost,and empty. BF:hug::hug::hug:

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:hug::hug::hug:

Thanks for the concern everyone, I feel better today but I don't think I had the kind of attack Blue did, I am glad you were able to get rid of that mucous. :( I am sorry you had such an awful time last night. I think mine was partially due to physical pain (Back and hip which was why I was on my stomach to rest) and the sleep apnea I have.

I hope we all feel better soon. :) It's odd so many of us felt weird yesterday...

Hello everyone !!!!!

Today I still feel exhausted.... Gosh, I think that attack left me too tired.... and my body hurts.... my abdomen... my back... all that zone hurts and feel like inflammed.... I think it is due to the effort I did and the cough I had. Pathetic. I definetely need to go and ask "now what...." what else I have !

BF: Im definetely allergic to the pollen :mad: I too think it can be related to the attack I had... Hum.... My mother just read that to avoid the allergy to pollen, it is good to take a little spoon of honey... if it can be organic honey, better.... Have you tried that ???

I hope everyone is feeling better today and attacks free !!! :grouphug:

Interesting thing is I was having problems during the day yesterday.

But it turned out to be related to the change coming in our weather.

It poured today., and I've felt much better.
