So sometimes when i get i can feel like a rattle but not sure if it's from my chest area or the sesnsation in the back of my throat and everytime it happens my anxiety goes through the roof. Not really had any tiredness, breathlessness or a bad cough really throughout all of it. I did work on my car a bit yesterday but now I'm scared In case I may have over done it and it's got worse. Weird thing is i've been coughing more today it's not fits or anything like that but just tickly throat and then one or two coughs every now and then. Anyway I have this obsession at the moment of just putting my hand on my chest and breathing in and out to see if i can feel anything on my chest I haven't yet also when i've stood up and felt that sensation i can't feel anything. But I'm still worried that it could possibly go to my chest and cause pnuemonia how bad does a cough have to be? At the moment I'd say I'm a wreck I can't focus on anything going outside isn't even calming me down these are by far the worst panic attacks I've had in years i thought I'd beaten it but no not even close.
I have two sides right now the logical side telling me that everything will be fine it's just post nasal drip and you can't just instantly get pneumonia and the anxiety side telling me that is possible for that to happen and i'll just become breathless instantly. All I've really been doing thus week is going out for a drive on my own in my car that seems to be the only thing that calms me down but that hasn't worked today.
Is there anything i can do to get rid of this post nasal drip feeling in my throat or at least make it less apparent? Would you generally be free and clear of any of these worries by day 9?
