1 Reply

I was laying down almost asleep when all of a sudden i couldn't breath. this has happened a few times before but it hasn't happened for months. I panic then calm down then it flares up again. i'm scared to fall asleep and my eyesight isn't blurry but its off. like it changes from normal to seeing like looking threw someone else's eyes. My heart rate picks up and my eyes feel so heavy but im scared to sleep. My chest feels heavy and hurts. I feel crazy and worried that there's something wrong with my brain. does anyone else have these problems.

Hiya, this could be your body responding to stress if you are feeling severe anxiety a lot of the time. Then again there is always a chance it's something neurological. Are you on any meds? Either way just go see a Dr to be sure just explain your symptoms as objectively as possible, even write it down beforehand of it helps, the more info your Dr has the better.
