The same constant symptom scares the shit out of me...... People do tend to say i over think-alot.... as im worried about my breathing i do tend aswell to think about it.....

I do notice aswell i breath from my chest.... during a panic attack belly breathing makes it worse

I will update as i go

As I said I would update this thread

Yet again I am having a panic attack / worries about my breathing.... It all started when I day dreamed about a nebuliser and ambelance....

I feel all my worries now are centred around breathing.. due to that's the only thing that bothers me nothung else I have got over the fast heat rate and the cold feet and hands....

Still waiting on CBT..

I feel I'm day dreaming only about anything I link to breathing..... I am even dreaming about breathing problems......

Personally I have quit certain life habits due to the fear of lung problems in the future.....

I have even stop the whole 999 calls but I am struggling like must of us with terrible disease....

I know I constantly need proof I'm fine.... but still even after a while the proof wears off.....


On edge everyday like I'm trying to find something and still I don't know what I'm looking for why I'm so on edge about what ever my brain is telling me..... I am also trying to not fight the thoights and the whole what ifs....

Sorry if this makes nosense I'm just typing as I'm think/saying it

I called 999 yesterday :doh: thought i could not breath and low and behold oxygen levels 100%.....

Dam i was doing so well i guess fear got the better of me......

Also asked why my hands and feet go cold and they stated due to the adrenalin blood goes to vital organs....

But still i dont know what i am fearing like right now my breathing feels strange and im shaking like cold shiver......

My hands are colder than ice.....

(Update)

Yet again feel like i'm not breathing properly. Feel like there is something in the front of my throat i am constantly cough and forcing air out of my lungs to see if i can remove whatever is there and nothing at all.....

This is the only symptom that really gets to me...

Symptoms i do get with a panic attack are as following

Fast/Slow Heart Rate

Cold Hands/Feet

Feeling as if i'm not getting the right amount of oxygen

Face will get a hot flush

Thoughts about Lung problems and thoughts what if i am having a lung related problems....


But out of all them symptoms its only the thoughts about breathing and the feeling im not getting enough air.... Also i will constantly use a peak flow which has became obsessive where it used to put mind ( Thoughts ) At ease now this obsessive use of the peak flow is failing to work to the point i am constantly needing professional advice ( A&E ) This as got to the point where i wont go out due to the thought of what if i start the whole not being able the get enough air like what if i feel i cant breath so my activities have been totally stop due to the fear i think i cant breath or feeling the discomfort of not breathing properly.......

I have been to A&E many of times and yet they say there is nothing wrong with my lungs.....

And if it was a serious problem i would still be the same when ambalance crew got there which in my case when i feel i cant breath properly and they arrive i feel better which goes to show it cant be anything major...

But the symptom is always the same.....

I mean all A&N reports Oxygen Levels have be in the 97-100% in which case even though that is awesome and have the proof that my lungs are fully working i still feel something is wrong.....

My panic attacks are lasting between 50mins-2hr which before when i was 16-18 would only last 25-30 mins

Sorry for the long post i feel like a spanner but better out than in i guess

Would just like to thank the mods and creator of this site as this site has been a great turning point for me and that i dont know where i would be today with out this trusted site so thank you

I get this, too. Everybody tells me it's anxiety, but I don't feel anxious when it's happening. I described it to my doctor, when I was young, that it's almost like there's a slope inside me, and my breath tries to climb it, but can't quite make it over for some time, but then it finally does. Is this similar for you?
