Hi All
I used to be in this forum few years back. Had a lot of panic attack and hypochondriac issues but was finally able to manage the symptoms quite well.
Thimgs suddenly went south after all these years when i felt shortness of breath couple of weeks back. This is not a new feeling to me. I would get it on and off and I would be able to recover from it a few days. But with uncertainity of COVID or I do not know why this time it became really bad.
I had a panic attack 10 days back where I could not breathe at all. Was somehow able to calm down. I thought I had COVID related shortness of breath whereas I did not have any other symptoms at all of cold, fever etc,
But this whole obsession with breathing is making my shortness of breath even worse.
I feel the urge to take deep breath all the time.
Even I do manage to calm down and fall asleep I wake up gasping for air.
Has anyone here been able to break this shortness of breath loop. How long does it take. Feeling sooo exasperated :(
