I feel bloated and over all bad.. and cant breath.. so scary.. waiting and trying to get it to stop.. i have bad allergies and that are bothering me and i get worried i cant breath due to allergy.. I want to run to the er but i know (or hope) its just anxiety taking over again.. Ive had neck surgery 3 yrs ago and they did a fussion I get to feeling like that is pushing on my throat and i cant breath.. now i know logically that its not but thats what it feels like. then my anxiety gets worse thinking about it.. I cant take my xanax right now or least only very little of it due to the fact im taking allergy meds ( zyrtec) and they dont mix well.. HELP!!

Stormlover,

Sorry you are going through this, I can honestly tell you have a been in your sitituation. I take my ativan and put on guided meditation and relax. It seems to really help calm me down and relax my breathing. Hope you feel better soon. Relax and take a deep breath you will be ok!

S.L.,

I am sorry you are struggling with your breathing now...that is an awful feeling!

Have you been tested for asthma? Though not typical, it can come on later in life...so this might be worth getting checked.

For tonight try your best to use your coping skills to keep you as relaxed as possible...and hopefully you'll be feeling better tomorrow.

If not, calling your doctor first thing may be a good move, to ensure you can get treatment if needed and can breath comfortably again. :)

S.C.
