Hi,
This might sound really stupid but iv got a cough... think its due to a cold going round cos not felt 100% for a couple of days but im terrified of it stopping me breathing!!
Why cant i just think 'its a simple cough, itl pass' ...... but nope, im sat here thinking im gona suddenly stop breathing, end up in hosp or die... im also thinking its a severe disease of some kind!!
I hate having the coughing attack where i cant get my breath... it scares the hell out of me!
Its a chesty cough and i am coughing up some clear phylem(sp?) which i know can be normal...... but can i just get reassurance that i wont stop breathing and that it sounds normal?!
I cant handle being ill... i really panic, which tenses my body, then i think my lungs are tight but i know theyre not, i know its just my shoulders etc all tense because i can feel it!
Any reassurance would be greatly appreciated xx
