felt like I was going mad until i found this forum..

[maisie mouse]

Hi I have always suffered with mild anxiety and health anxiety issues but things seem to have exacerbated over the last week and actually feel ill with it all. I feel like I am going mad - I feel that I am hyperventilating and then breath holding and then constantly aware of the breathing process - its awful and so distracting. I have a dreadful headache and struggling with bright lights and feel like I have a lump in my chest, dizzy and lightheaded. I would love to hear from anyone who has had this and how they dealt with the symptoms.i am 43 with a fab family and have no need to be suffering with anxiety -please help!
Thank you in advancex:weep:
