Is it Drowning ?

[Pink-writer]

Hi I'm new here I don't know how to explain how I feel but all I know is I feel like I'm suffocating. There's a tightness in my chest and I can't breathe. I used to think it was normal now I don't know because I can't focus on anything anymore besides the pain. Can someone please help me

Hello pink, Welcome to our community, you will find lots of support in this community, but in the first instance you should consult your family doctor if you have one.

He/she will best be able to help you with the diagnosis 🙂

Hello Pink, and welcome.

I think it may be stress and anxiety, but we aren't doctors here, so you would need to see your doctor about it for a diagnosis, I'm afraid

Cheers, Midori.

It to me sounds like chronic anxiety. My anti anxiety medication has severe side effects so I manage by using CBD gummies or even THC if it gets too bad

I know this feeling, mostly hyperventilating because of excessive anxiety and overwhelm. Also because of my allergy. What helps me is mint and to open a window or take a walk or just stop and breathe because i get overwhelmed and this cause it. It's a really scary and unpleasant feeling.
