Its been happening to me everyday now. I notice my breath or a tickle in my throat draws my attention to it and then I start manually breathing. Slowly I begin to twitch and then the breathing turns into hyperventilation. I start getting really dizzy from overbreathing and then I start feeling like I'm not getting enough air and I start doing it even more. Then I get these pins and needles everywhere and all sorts of uncomfortable sensations. I start taking really intense giant breaths to the point where my muscles start to ache. I keep doing this and I get even more dizzy.
My worst fear is fainting! And so I start getting all these awful thoughts that I will faint or I'll get brain damage and then I start hyperventilating even more. I haven't fainted from it yet. I am surprised. But I keep thinking that it will happen one day. I have had a whole host of medical exams and everything is normal.
Yesterday I went to the movies and I was sitting there doing this for two and a half hours! I was so exhausted. It goes away on its own after a while. But I am so terrified of it happening again. And somehow it just happens wherever I go. And now I am scared to visit the places where it happened before.
