Hi,
So I have had a recent reresurfacing of anxiety and panic attacks.
I feel like I can't breathe enough. Every short if breathe er visit. The doctor says he hears no wheezing that my lungs are clear. I have asthma but my peak flow is always good. 650-710. My oxygen levels were always 97%-100%. They give me klonopin or ativan and I calm down.
Its hard to do anything but work. I'd rather trip pipe for 12 hours than take a 30 minute vehicle ride. I hyperventilate and everything. I was prescribed zoloft and klonopin in the past. But am now off if it unless the er gives me a small prescription. I cant get to sleep easy at all. The underlying thing I can't mentally get past is the diagnosed mild asthma. So I always have the thought that I could die. Effectively rendering the "its not gonna kill me" strategy useless.
I feel paralyzed off work. And work is getting uncomfortable due to it.
I wanna know if anyone else can relate and if so knows how to deal with it.
