So yesterday I was driving home, felt fine then all of a sudden I felt like I was struggling to breathe, like someone was sat on my chest and I could not get enough air in my lungs. I was terrified. Anyone else experience this?

Hello SunAlwaysShines

I remember you last post , were any replies any use that you got ?

I have had this many times , I believe it is yet another form of a kind of panic attack , very frightening when it happens , if this is a one of and is not happening all the time I would try not to worry but if it becomes a concern speak with your Doctor who will reassure you :-)

Did you start the medication ?

Hope others will find the time to reply and give you some more helpful tips :-)

I know this exact feeling. It happened to me while I was at work today. I really didn't feel good so I decided I would go and sit in my car. I did some meditation to calm me down and it really worked. So much so I ended up even having a nap in my car. Did you go back to your doctor? 😊 x

Hi there

This as happened to me a few times I felt like I was going to die. In the end an ambulance as to be called to help me get my breathing back to normal they keep me in hospital for 3 to 5 days then send me home.

I've been told I have asthma or COPD or panic attacks I don't know what to think.

Not what you're looking for?
