Panic

I have been struggling with anxiety/ depression all my life. I've had panic attacks frequently but learned how to talk myself down. Tonight I had one of the worse I almost went to the ER. My chest felt heavy and tight. I felt as if I was suffocating and couldn't breathe. Anyone feel that way during an attack?

Your symptoms, barring any her physical heath issues, do sound as though you were having anxiety/panic attack...the tight chest feeling and feeling like you couldn't breathe sound very much like anxiety. To be safe, have you ever spoken to or been examine by a doctor for these symptoms?

No. Only because of how they come and go. And I have had many attacks but for some reason last night I couldn't calm myself down.

Hummm. If you have had many anxiety/panic attacks where you could calm yourself down, but now you're having one that almost sent you to the hospital, you may want to consider taking to doctor or therapist.....not necessarily for meds...but for some additional advice on how to deal that. Maybe your familiar ways of dealing with anxiety aren't working as well now, or your anxiety attacks are increasing in strength for some reason....your mind and body may be telling you something.

Keep in touch with this venue. We always here to listen and share experiences. Good luck.
