I'm so upset over this. Can someone tell me how i can get rid of this feeling? I'm hoping this isn't a heart problem!? It's been going on for three days now (almost all day long). If i look back, it started shortly after i found out my best friend's mom died suddenly. I was literally in tears all day long-- thinking of things that i can do to help the family. I noticed i started hyperventilating and felt like a could not catch my breath. Now it's ALL i'm thinking about, ALL day long! It does get worse when i'm walking around as well. My stomach feels tight and sometimes i also feel as if i'm holding my breath. Xanax only helps a bit.
I don't have a fever or anything, so i'm hoping i'm not sick with some sort of virus. I have one of those pulse oximeters that has the heart rate &O2 levels and currently i'm at 99%. Would that tell me if i was actually having a problem breathing???
