Has anyone every gotten to the point with their anxiety where they feel they can't talk because of extreme shortness of breath feeling like suffocation. I literally feel like I can't say words or feel ill suffocate. while I felt this I was at a doc who was taking my oxygen and I was fine but ugh! its, WHAT IS A WORD WORSE THAN TERRIFYING? of course I do get over it and feel fine after it passes but I worry so much about it on and off. I even tested for asthma. Ive been to the ER called ambulance about it they said its just anxiety but it feels I'm gonna die right then and there.

Yes! I feel like this. It usually only lasts a bit but when it does I feel like I'm going to pass out...I feel like this as I'm typing but I have to make myself take deep breaths. I have been pretty good but lately my anxiety is through the roof and I feel so out of control.
Yeap thats one of my many symptoms i get..
i could be so calm or busy doing something and out of no where my chest will get sooo tight where my breathing is supper hard to the point that i need to take breaks while talking..when i first experienced that i was the same ..i would freak out, thinking i would pass out or my breathing would stop..but after learning that its just anxiety i have learned to just ignore it and ride it out..its a nasty feeling that i still occasionally experience but just train yourself that its just anxiety ..since everything else came back good
i went to the er twice for that and everything would come back normal
