Just had a little panic attack in bed while watching tv. Don’t know what brought it on, just over thinking and stress and googling symptoms that’s making me feel ill. Felt like my throat was closing and I was going to stop breathing. Also got bad pains in my chest and started to sweat. It’s fucking horrible !

Awe, im soo sorry i had that a couple days ago my whole chest started to tighten felt like i couldnt breathe and a weird feeling in my throat..pleasee dont search up the symptoms because it can lead to anything and anxiety will make you think the worst trust me it helps if you don't. Also has anything been helping your headaches? And on 1 to 10 how bad do they hurt?

Yea I know, that’s how I feel and I over think so make it feel worse and also have the cold so it’s sore as well. My head is always sore, even if I’m not anxious but I’m on sertaline and not noticing anything different. I went to opticians so going to see if my glasses help. But I take a lot of ibuprofen to relieve headaches or have a nap xx

It’s a common symptom of anxiety. When I get that I lay on my stomach on a pillow. It always seems to help and I do slow breathing. Best wishes John

Thank you will try that next time

I’ve had that too! Your throat isn’t closing it’s just all your muscles are tense

Anxiety symptoms are limited..They only last so long. Don't listen in to what your body is doing then they will stop. Dont self diagnose yourself..stay out of medical books..just know it's just anxiety, Everyone has anxiety.
