I have been experiencing shortness of breath and a feeling of chest congestion. Also, nausea, dizziness and a feeling of having to force myself to breathe. I am scared, and that adds to my anxiety thinking something is seriously wrong with me.

Hi. I get all of these symptoms with my anxiety, and I know it’s terrible. I’m in a bad flare up now too. Can you try some meditation? Call or visit a friend who will distract you? I just keep telling myself that these flare ups are hard but they do go away eventually. I’m in desperate need of suggestions for my issue with eating right now...see my post from today. It Helps to know we are not aloneness though, right?

PS. I’m a mess too! 😊

I read your other posts and have many issues with nausea some days. I also look at food and just have no appetite. The dizziness continues, but the shortness of breath is what is really scaring me. I feel a chest congestion and slight wheeze. I then feel that I am holding my breath and not breathing correctly. Then my anxiety really takes over and I fear I have a lung disease. I am 71 and suffered on and off with panic attacks and anxiety since my 20's. I think of all the things I could have and just obsess over it.
It all just really stinks.

Any asthma or respiratory issues? Me, asthma and have GAD also. just thinking out allowed,
especially with a wheeze. If not then more the anxiety and panic. HT
