can’t breathe

[mayaohh]

Can an anxiety attack last all day? I have been really anxious and feeling like I can’t breathe all day I’m scared

Mayaohh,

I've experienced 2 different things. One is more like a panic attack that comes on fairly quickly and lasts less than an hour, this is the one where I can't breathe. Then I have another type that can last all day. It feels kind of like something is coming but I can't figure out what it is.

Is it kind of like that?

Yes kind of. I just get overwhelmed with symptoms of anxiety and my mind convinces me it’s something terrible

Same here.

Yes sometimes sufferers can feel the effects of anxiety the whole day...sometimes longer, and naturally this makes you feel scared, the symptoms are very unpleasant and overwhelming, but it will pass, find something comforting to listen too, audio books or podcasts on YouTube are great, just let this attack run it's course and remind yourself that it WILL eventually pass, it always does, hope things calm down soon, you'll be ok

Yes I have had them last for a couple days.. I fall asleep and I'm ok.. As soon as I wake up it starts again.. It will pass like Suzie842 said.. Just like it run its course.. It's just a panic attack.. Your not dying your ok... you will feel better once it passes.. I know easier said then done.. But believe me .. If they had a scale to measure Panic Attacks.. Mine would be over the top... hang in there .. Do your breathing exercises.. In thru the nose and out thru the mouth and say RELAX when your letting out...
