Oh my gosh, last night I was working out and started to feel dizzy and sick, then I started feeling like I can't breath(hard to breath) I couldn't sleep for nothing My heart was racing(it usually never does) I was irritable and sweaty. this lasted till about 2 this afternoon. I have never had an anxiety attack that bad it was horrible and my chest hurt too!(i hardly ever get that) man was I scared out of my mind, i was scared to sleep because I couldn't breath. has anyone had this? I hit bottom and went on meds today. any feedback would be appreciated. thank you all and godbless.

I've been there.I hate when my heart races and won't calm down. Then I will start to take my pulse and then get even more anxious and it starts to palpate. I am glad to here you are on meds now. There comes a time when we just can't take it anymore and need that little extra to help us to start live again without all the panic.

I hope the meds work for you and I hope you start to feel better soon.

Take care

Yes, every night.

I recently got on Xanax to help me go to sleep, but going to sleep is one of my triggers.

I hope the meds work for you.
