yesterday i felt happy and fine, occasional heart race but ok. Then last night, i did go to bed late and was reading. I felt really wheezy from top of chest to throat, felt really suffocated and couldnt get any air in, i took my inhaler and i felt like i had froze, tried to breathe deeply but my breathing was all shaky when i breathed out not smooth is how i described,felt bump
i have had before, horrible feeling, like you need to yawn to relieve it!
i felt really weak and had clammy cold hands, my co ordination was out as body was that shaky. what do you think it was? panic attack?hyperventilating? it come on quick!
i did manage to relax but doing the relaxation method where you tense all muscles and release and i done breathing which in end turned every thing back to normal, could feel pins and needles in fingers as my breathing got better!
thanks xx

Hi April tones
This must've been really scary, it sounds to me like it was hyperventilation which made you panic, I get this too and it's horrible. I get so it feels that I can't take a satisfying breath in and I want to yawn all the time too.

Mine wheezes when I exhale when I'm laying down, but I forced GP to listen to my chest yesterday and he said nothing to worry about, but I still do

its so strange isnt it! i have had them listen to me before! but nothing
have asthma but its not this! my peak flow is normal
its weird if it is anxiety as i hadnt felt anxious today or last night
believe i do hyperventilate but you have to when you get this uncomftable feeling in chest
