That's what I like about this forum - getting it out. I really believe it helps. I hope you manage to get some restful sleep today. What can you do to relax and feel comfy? Have you eaten anything?
Big Hugs even if my quaestions are not very helpful to you

Hi amanda, sorry i'm not really into 'babes or hun' or sending loads of these, and my cat and my dog are fine and so is my man, my aunty and my granny...sorry but at age 54, maybe i'm just a bit too old for it all, and am on this forum to talk about my health not my relationships. So..now that thats is all out of the way i want to say to you that i know you're feeling like cr..p just now because of your breathing. Its because you're overbreathing and its quite common in anxiety (you might have heard of breathing into a paper bag to regulate your breathing). When you're anxious, your breath comes quickly and this builds up the carbon monoxide in your system, together with the extra adrenaline bombing around So then this makes you feel like you can't get enough breath. Then you become more anxious and this contributes to it more. I'm going back quite some years with one memory...i called the doc because my breathing was so bad. He talked to me on the phone for ages (in the days when they did this even at night ) at the end of the talk i was much calmer and my breathing was almost normal again. When you are alone with this it seems to be much worse I know, and when you have someone with you you can cope with it better yes? So try to tell yourself its only the anxiety, but you're NOT alone coz ppl are here ok? just a call away if you want to hear a voice.


Take care
Cathy xx

Hi Amanda

Just wanted to ask you how you are feeling now? I hope you are a bit better than yesterday. The breathing thing is the worst thing for me 2 + the heart banging and pounding, it's horrible. Fortunately it always goes away. Unfortunately it comes back!! Are you on any meds? Not that I endorse meds but wondered if you are on the 'take as needed' script.

I know that taking your mind off of it can sometimes help, like doing a hard puzzle so as to get the mind thinking about something else. I do hope you feel better today.

I would like if I may to respond to cathyv - I don't see anywhere in this thread where anyone has asked you about your relationships or your family, called you 'hun' or 'babes', given you 'hugs' or even asked about your pets. Dare I say that you were obviously not brought up with any kinds of 'terms of endearment', or taught to talk outwardly about your inner feelings. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but maybe worth looking into??!! Take care of yourself.
