    Feel Really Really Awful!!


    I am feeling terrible today, i am very very hot and have been sweating constantly despite having all doors and windows open!

    I feel very weak, tired, i feel like i am not breathing at all im an asthmatic i've done my peak flow and its a reasonable 350.

    My partner is back tomorrow after being away for 2 weeks!

    I just feel awful and the last 2 nights i have ha trouble sleeping!

    Feel like im going to faint, i have chest pains as well, i am really scared that im going to die a young 23 years old i am really worried cant seem to feel better whatever i seem to do!

    Hi Andrew,

    Sorry to hear you feel so bad. A lot of us don't handle this weather very well sadly, we're just not equipped for it. I am the opposite way where my anxiety feels a lot worse in the winter when I feel cold and shivery. It's not suprising you're feeling scared and anxious especially if you've had trouble sleeping, I find I feel a hell of a lot worse when I sleep badly the night before and I am TRUELY convinced that there are things wrong with me even though the entire week before I've not felt 'too' bad. I'm pretty sure you won't die at 23, you're just having one of the rougher days that we have to endure sadly. Make sure you try to rest, drink plenty of cold water, try and keep yourself cool (maybe a desk fan?) and maybe try the breathing exercises to calm yourself?

    Hi Andrew, I too have felt really hot, sweaty and anxious all day. Was in town for 3 hours this morning trying to buy fathers day pressi and felt like i was going to faint. Have just come online to see if anyone else feeling the same and read your post. I have just had a cool bath and listened to my relaxation tape. Try and do something that will distract you, when I feel like this I can so easily let my thoughts and feelings get out of hand by stressing about morbid thoughts, you are not going to die! Just let it pass and try not to fight your feelings, I know it's easier said than done. I have noticed there has been alot of posts on here today about anxiety and the weather. Please try to relax, it will go. Feel free to pm me if you want to chat, I really do know how you're feeling! take care, KT x

    Be gentle and you will need no strength, be patient and you will achieve all things.

    Andrew,
    I am sure much of these awful feelings will subside when your partner comes back today.

    Hi,
    I hope you're feeling better now. I get the breathing thing you mention at times too. yesterday I breathed fine in the heat and today out of the blue I started hyperventilating. I get asthma too and often wonder if it's my asthma. My asthma nurse told me that asthma affects breathing out more than breathing in. When I feel that I can't breathe it's breathing in which is common when hyperventilating. I take my peak flow if I feel breathless and if it's ok stop worrying. My peak flow is usually 500 and only drops to 450/480 if i get a cold. Sometimes when I hyperventilate it's 550!
    Take care,
    LJ x
