    Yes I go through this all the time. Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep.

    God yes I've had this for years it's one of my most scary symptoms of anxiety it feels like im suffocating I get it even when I'm calm I guess I'm never fully relaxed only thing that helps me get rid of it is by doing something to distract myself like ring a friend or go somewhere were I have to not focus on it such as shopping ect if I sit around worried about it , it becomes wayyyyy worse
