Hi all,
Ive been a member of this site since i was 21 and it has honestly saved my sanity on multiple occasions. I suppose im posting now to ask for some help calming myself after feeling extremely anxious for the last week over some issues with breathlessness, chest pain and wheezing. This alongside a feeling of 'something is definitely wrong, you need to get help'. I will be going for a check up on Monday as I am asthmatic but what is really not helping is the heightened state of being; im jumpy, nervous, constantly body scanning myself to check im not going blue, hypervigilant and on the verge of tears. I was a heavy vaper and have decided to quit, but I fear its too late. Last week I was breathless, feeling dizzy and feverish after coming home from visiting friends (took a covid test which was negative) but it felt like how i felt when I had covid. Its not gotten better and i was idiot by continuing to vape through these symptoms. But i threw the nasty thing away Thursday and said no more because anxiety was through the roof and still is. I haven't slept well at all these last few days and Im so scared. Ive even taken to google which after years of being excellent at self talk and calming my worst fears, has got me feeling like a failure. I don't want to post my list of symptoms as I know it can trigger some people but the symptoms feel like a chest infection but with horrible anxiety thrown in.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as im feeling so vulnerable and down right now.
