So I've had these extreme distressing symptoms been living with them but on the verge of panic right know literally feel like I'm struggling to get air and I may die tonight and it's terrifying I only see 2 outcomes tonight fainting or dying this is the most distressful symptom I've ever had it makes me think I am dying I've been to the ER twice they couldn't bfind the problem told me to go to a pulmonologist or to my family doctor and get a pulmonary function test but tonight it's severe I'm literally gasping for air trying to get a deep breath I'm certain this is the end I ask someone in my family to drive me to the ER they got all mad so oh well no one gives a f**k I've got a doctors appointment on Monday I went to the ER twice on Thursday over this and they sent me home one said allergies the other said anxiety why did they miss the condition why does this happen to me I went to the ER begging for help now I am sitting at home gasping for breath convinced I am dying what is causing this I've seen multiple conditions that can I pray to God it's just chronic hyperventilation syndrome but I don't think it is because I am gasping for air from sun up to sun down afraid to work afraid to excercise over the fear I will die why did god do this to me

I experience the Shortness if breath all day everyday it's gotten so bad I feel like when I'm breathing Normal out of my nose I'm not getting enough air so to comprensate for the lack of air feeling I gasp for a deep satisfying breath or I yawn and I'm doing this all day I'm literally feeling like I can't breathe every hour of the day I am awake I'm gasping for a deep breath right now as I'm typing this it's terrifying I do not know what to do or how to make it go away the feeling just doesn't go away it's more complex than just relax because I'm literally feeling this feeling all day long and it scares me I'm in fear its a lung problem

I swear to you that the symptoms are just that... accept whatever is happening with you and to you... you are not sick, you are not dying, you are totally fine. I promise you you are totally fine..... and the way I got over my anxiety is that I said to myself that I would rather die than live like this.... i accepted death in terms of not being afraid of anymore.. whatever happens happens... and my symptoms just went away... dont fight the fear.. embrace it and accept it.. it's part of us, but not the whole of us.... it's your brain and you are in control

I wish i could man I'm constantly going to doctors getting checked out and after I leave and they find nothing I want to go to a different doctor a specialist etc because I am just not convinced it's something else it's just hard man right now it's the worst I've ever felt anxiety wise feeling like I can't breathe every single day it's like i never get relief from the symptom either it just stays with me untill I go to sleep and when wake I get about a hr of good breathing then it's starts again... You are more than likely correct though I hope so

The worst thing u can do is panic, that only makes it worse. I’ve been suffering those symptoms for over a year now on a daily basis. It get better and you won’t die. My symptoms are frozen chest sensation where I breath and I can’t feel my breath or my chest expand, I’m gasping for air and I feel like I’m going to die. I find that slow my breath helps, stretching my hands over my head also helps to get that deep breath and breathing through my mouth. Just keep calm is the mos important thing here. I know it’s terrifying I’ve been doing this for over a year. Dr says is anxiety. I did the pulmonary test, stress test, X-ray, head scan, blood work, oxygen levels , heart monitoring, all came back normal. My oxygen intake has been 98 to 99 which is excellent. Im getting an MRI next week since that weird sensation has spread to my lower extremities of my body. That frozen chest feel now spread to my bladder where I can feel when I pee. So yeah it’s scary but I’m still breathing I’m still alive!

Definite hyperventilation. Breathe in to the count of 5 hold to the count of 4 then Exhale to the count of 7. It's called the 5,4,7 breathing. YouTube has a great meditation channel called Meditation Vacation. The man who does them is a former sufferer his name is Christian. I swear by him. You're fine hon it's just anxiety and I know how you feel about no one seeming to care 😔
