Fuzzy, odd breathing, tense and not my self...anxiety?

[A_Williams919]

Starting last night I jumped up out of a deep sleep gasping for air. After that I noticed my body reacting. I started to feel as if I was not in reality and fuzzy and lightheaded with pressure. Along with that my breathing felt differently...as if something was taking my breath away. This has been going on for almost 24 hours now. I am new to anxiety and I have never experienced this. I find myself googling ever possible thing that could be wrong with me and its all externally negative things....is this anxiety or is there something really wrong... if so scared of the outcome.

If you haven't been checked out medically you should, but everything you're describing are known anxiety symptoms. The breathing thing is the worst, but when it's caused by anxiety it's not harmful - just terrifying.

Yes see your doctor and confirm all is well with your health and explain everything that's happening but to reassure u a little bit this happens on and off to me as well sometimes at night before i get to sleep good and sometimes in the am after having a good nights rest and it'll go on for up to week almost or sometimes just a few nights and ive been having anxiety since 2015.... Before i had every once in a blue moon panick attacks but in 2015 my anxiety hit hard and ive had so many tests done thinking i was dying but just turned out to be anxiety disorder

ive had this happen to me as well in my sleep and suddenly waking up gasping for air and disoriented its the worse but its anxiety as well also a lil advice stay away frm googling your symptoms it never a good thing.
