Hey there,

I'm so sorry to hear about your scary experience last night, please try not to worry too much! (Easier said than done, I know!) Anxiety is the worst at the best of times and what you experienced was a very natural but still frightening anxiety attack. The past few days I have been breathless over worry about my leg (won't go into that) thinking I need to go to the A&E and I'm still not convinced I'm fine even know my really supportive mom told me not to worry and to stop googling. Breathlessness for me is the scariest symptom as well as chest pain! Have you tried talking to your doctor?

Peace and love
