This may sound absolutely ridiculous but I had yet another night when I was awoken at 4am with feelings of doom & problems filling my lungs with air, really frightening situation, lasted about an hour
Tried the breathing in through the nose & out through the mouth, took 2 codeine & had a hot water bottle in between my shoulder blades to ease the symptoms which eventually calmed down, even stood outside in the cool air to try to breathe easier.
Eventually went back to sleep until 9am, it's 10am now & don't feel too bad, took my first 10mg of cilatopram yesterday & am undecided on wether to take another one today ????
But my main question is... ( & I know you will probably laugh at me) but can these breathing episodes end up killing you or would the worst case scenario be that you would just pass out or am I just plain overreacting, please give me some advice ?

I would get yourself checked out if you are worried.

We go abroad tomorrow & I always seem to get this ailment about 5 weeks prior to going, not aware of being afraid of flying but get so many feelings of doom & gloom about what could go wrong, sounds crazy I know Dawn but it really does get me down ?

With breathing techniques & positive thinking we can get on with our lives & not let it rule us. I keep telling myself that it is a state of mind & can do me no real harm, I'm trying not to think about it bothering me tonight, instead I'm trying to tell myself I will get a good nights sleep & think of other things instead of this stupid anxiety, please keep in contact misty & let me know how you are ☺

I have had anxiety off & on my whole (long) life.. Went away but made a comeback in the last year. If it is anxiety it won;t kill you. But it is an awful thing. I take ativan when needed. When I was doing yoga it was so much better. It you do some deep breathing (learn the right way) it will help. Feel better.
