Anxiety or what?

I’ve been feeling short of breath lately. My cardiologist says that it’s from anxiety but am I the only person that’s afraid to fall asleep? My doctors says that I’m ok just take my meds but I still think that there’s something wrong with me. I’m a anxious & worried about my health all day everyday. I feel hopeless

I had this exact same thing last night, came out of nowhere, it's a pain in the back side.

I put lavender on my pillow, vicks rub on my neck and chest, spray my face with a chamomile and lavender mist, take my pills if nessesary and fall asleep with the telly on so I'm concentrating on something other than my breathing.

It's the scariest feeling ever but I'm still here to tell the tale xx

Anxiety will not kill you, whether awake or asleep. It's the big lie that it tells us. We have to just keep returning to the facts, over and over, until they sink in. Anxiety is not dangerous. You've been checked medically so you are OKAY physically. The work to be done is on your thinking.... I'm working on it everyday and though the progress is slow, it is evident. Sleep well and know that you are safe.
