Panic attack! Can't breathe

Posted , 4 users are following.

I've been under a tremendous amount of stress lately. I've been so busy I have not been able to pick up my high blood pressure prescription. Been without it for a week. Tonight I'm experiencing extreme anxiety. Pressure on my chest, can't breathe, can't sleep, my heart is beating fast. I'm scared that it's not a panic attack but something worse!

    when you feel panicky go to YouTube and search for “stop panic attacks now“. She guides you through it and helps you calm down and reduce the heart rate. That way you have better control .

    there are many great meditations on YouTube for anxiety, panic, sleep, etc.I listen to them every night and fall asleep before they are over because they are so relaxing .

    you can follow up with your doctor.The proper breathing technique is very important in anxiety management.

    HOPE you feel better.❤
