Mild anxiety and breathless today

The anxiety is as I’ve said mild but I’ve had breathlessness on and off all afternoon, even if I get up to go and do something I can feel it. I don’t know if it’s mild adrenaline or just the slight anxiety that’s made me breathless, I’m quite tired today and it’s been warm and humid, that doesn’t help. I don’t like this feeling of shortness of breath though 😐 I didn’t have it this morning just jelly legs and arms when I went to the shops. Apart from in the morning yesterday when I was waiting to be picked up when I felt a little breathless and had jelly legs the rest of the day went well. I didn’t get home until around 7ish and then had to eat, and I never eat late so don’t think that helped at all. Maybe that’s why I’m out of sorts today?

Hi Sam

Yes I did have a good day.vthe gardens were beautiful and the film was good. I saw the film Yesterday about the Beatles music. Very good.

Sorry to hear about your symptoms. The breathlessness is the only one I still get.

I have been better again lately however.

I think it is caused by the fight or flight chemicals we release too much of.

I find it eases alot if I go for a fast walk for at least half an hour.

Very best wishes.

Hi Sam,

Sorry you're feeling a bit rough.

I still wonder if it's a come down from our outings.

I was nervous all week of spending the weekend at my sons. I felt instantly off balance when I arrived, as you say jelly arms and legs, under lying dizziness. I was fighting it all the time. However, we took the children to the beach all day, and playing with them and being in charge and keeping them safe, did distract me, we watched a movie in the evening. But when I woke, back come the symptoms, and I just feel completely drained today.

I wish I could tell you how to feel better. But I think it's great that you are making the effort to go out despite the feelings.

How did we ever get this way... Life I suppose. Take care and I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Hi Jen,

Yes you could be right, I was fighting with myself on Saturday when I was going to my daughters father in laws house. Distraction is the big thing isn’t it. Yes I bet you had a good day at the beach, I haven’t been to a beach for a long time, and I’m not ready to get a train by my myself yet as it would take a good hour and a half.
