The problem is a lot of the time I dont know whether I am actually suffering from a health problem during the panic attack. For example, I wonder am I struggling to catch my breath because of the panic attack or could there actually be lung problems I am having?
I suffer from reflux which can cause breathing problems at times. It would be dangerous to dismiss the symptoms if they are actually due to a health condition. In this case, you could die of suffocation or lose consciousness through lack of oxygen.
The thought of that is hardly reassuring for someone who suffers panic attacks!
How am I supposed to feel reassured when I know that I suffer from symptoms which affect my breathing due to a health condition?
