    Wendy thank goodness I saw this! I have just the exact same thing happen just now. I was sat down trying to pull myself together when I saw your post. It's horrendous isn't it? I was driving on my own last week and had an episode had to pull over into a lay by. It's scaring me to death. I'm sure I'm having heart attack. My chest feels heavy and breathing laboured. 

    It it doesn't last long thankfully and tends to happen mid morning. I can fully sympathise with you but unfortunately I don't have any answers. 

    Keep  in touch and let me know how you get on. Much love ??

    Meditative breathing can help in the short term.

    The hard part is not to let anxiety take over. You've got to remember that you'll get through it and you're not going to die.

    I go through the same thing. It is really difficult. I usually grab my iPad and try to watch something funny until I get sleepy again. Mine always wakes me from sleep.

      Hi Becky,

      Thanks for the warm wishes. I went to see my gyn today to discuss my symtoms. He also specializes in endocrinology. He gave me a script for synthroid to be taken daily and another medication which I couldn't make out on the script pad but is taken on day16.

    Awful isnt it, I had an episode twice while driving, it is really scary, taking magnesium does help with the anxiety, when it happens try to focus on your breathing (hard I know when you're panicking) but I did this when it happened and it eventually cleared. I breath in through my nose and slowly out through pursed lips! If you can get breathing under control the panic will cease x
