Can't breathe properly. Help!

[sebinkent]

For most of today it feels like I have been choking. Like someone has been pressing a pillow against my face and there is a tight band around my chest. I've had similar symptoms before but nothing as bad as this. I can't help thinking I've got something wrong with my heart or lungs. Anyone else had something similar??

Hi Seb,

It's been a while! Are you feeling particularly anxious at the moment? What you're describing can be anxiety symptoms but could also be something like asthma. I have similar symptoms now and then but they are asthma related so I'd recommend a discussion with your GP.

It's good to hear from you my friend!
