Does anyone get ...

Really bad headaches that you can’t breathe ? I don’t know if it’s my nerves backfiring on me. But everything I get a sharp pain in my head or it throbs, I can’t breathe. Like literally I can’t breathe.

What causes your headaches? Migraines can have a lot of different effects. I've had breathing problems, but I think they were panic attacks because of the migraines. I did go to the doctor to determine there was no other cause. The breathing problems went away when I was able to control the panic attacks. And the headaches became more tolerable. Does this make sense to you? I'd first have your health care provider ascertain the headaches have no other cause.

Hope this helps. Take care of yourself.

I actually have an EEG and MRI scheduled next month. So just waiting to do those tests.

Good for you. No reason to suffer in ignorance. What do you do when the headaches hit? I just got under the covers and tried to wait it out. But, like I mentioned, once I got control of my anxiety attacks, the breathing issue was a much lesser problem. Even with a headache, I could control the anxiety. Not always, but most of the time. I no longer have attacks, and the headaches have been much less during the last 5 - 6 years. I still have anxiety issues, but not the attacks.

Hope all's well with your EEG and MRI. Let me know?

Well only now, maybe two months I’ve been getting headaches like this. Never got them with my panic attacks before. That’s why I was worried that it was something greater. For me. Sometimes my bed is my safe haven and some times it isn’t. But I pray. And I pray hard for this to stop.

Since the headaches are so new, it is great that you are seeking the cause. Praying can be a great help if you believe. At least praying can help you cope. Please let me know the results of your tests! You have my prayers, too.
