Hi Pinkcatfairy, yes it does come on like that as well. It's a scary feeling, I recall taking St. John's wort for it, it reduced my anxiety attacks that came on exactly as you described. Not sure where you're located but they sell those here at health food stores.

Yes I get that all the time. It's another symptom my dear. Mine feels like something heavy is on my chest.

Yes, that's right a sort of heaviness which seems to labour the breathing!

This is what I was prescribed Omeprazole for when I went to the doctors with it. I think it is prescribed to easily. On the omeprazole site a lot of women report side effects including anxiety from it. A very knowledgeable man called Barratts explains it protects the upper stomach from excess acid and is important when prescribed for the right reasons.
