My breathing is funny now and I have pain in my head, its just anxiety isnt it, I know itis I have had it all before.
Why is this still happening to me, Im on medication now I thought it would stop.

You're probably panicking now because you're getting the symptoms you thought had been dealt with. I've just been through a similar thing with a tooth extraction.

As to your original question, you're just panicking. Try some deep breathing into a paper bag or your hands. I find it helps to laugh at my symptoms (which may or may not help).

I once managed to count 9 different head pains at the same time. See if you can beat that.

Your body is not giving up. It is working as it should. Any medication is not a total guard against anxiety. But don't let this alarm you.

You need to inhale slowly to the count of 3 and exhale to the count of 6. Do this through the day and when you feel anxious.

Nothing you've experienced is abnormal or strange. Take reassurance in that.
