Panicking badly.

So I'm feeling congested and I've been staying at home, also bc I quit my job recently. So I tried to go out and run some light errands and I started panicking. I feel like I was gonna faint or I couldn't breathe. I know I'm breathing but I think what made is worse was when I dazed out, I wasn't trying to breathe or seeing if my body was gonna breathe on it's on and I was breathing but I was scared that it would stop. And I think my cousin played a part bc he has sleep apnea and that you can stop breathing and die. I had tested from sleep apnea but they NEVER got back to me. This was years ago. So I think I got that confused. I do a lot of WHAT IF'S as well... =|

Sleep apnea is nothing to mess around with girl. I don't want to stress you out anymore than you already are but it can put stress on your heart when your body stops breathing at night. I have had obstructive sleep apnea for 5 years now. I would call the doctor who ordered the test. I'll go ahead and tell you treatment is so annoying though. It actually makes my anxiety worse so I don't wear my breathing machine like I should. If you are claustrophobic ask about an oral mouth piece. That is what I plan on looking into.

Hey girl sorry for the late reply but yeah it's my cousin who has it and I did a testing a long time ago bc my tonsils are big and my dr wanted to be sure it wasn't causing any harm. So anyway I never got the result back ever. I do tend to breathe out my mouth though bc I feel like I can get more air. But yeah I'll probably look into again. Stupid people never got back to me 🙄
