Hi everyone, I posted to say I was having trouble with my throat and swallowing, well that is no better and things have now escalated onto my breathing. I am in a total mess at the moment, I was prescribed some medication from my GP last week which I cannot take for fear of the side effects, it's pathetic really, I keep trying to tell myself that I couldn't feel any worse than I do right now. I'm barely eating as I sit and think constantly that it will get stuck so I end up feeling every tiny bit that I am eating go down and then convince myself it is still there.
I really feel like I am suffocating I feel there is a lump in my throat that it stopping me from getting any air down, I constantly take deep breaths, and to top it off I feel that I have an elephant or something very heavy sitting on my chest. The back of my neck aches and feels like my head just wants to fall off. And to really round it up these feelings are continually with me, from the minute I open my eyes in the morning and until I close them at night. I feel I am never going to be able to stop them and they are suceeding in making my life a misery.
I can't concentrate on anything, I am short and snappy with everyone close to me and my children don't understand why but I seem to have really lost the plot with it now and as hard as I try to tell myself there is nothing serious wrong with me my body is trying very hard to convince me that there is with it's wonderful array of symptoms.
I am desperately in need of some help and would love to go to sleep and wake up and it has all been a dream.
