Breathing problems?

So, I'm past the worrying of whether or not I have a brain tumor...and now it's moved on to whether or not there is something wrong with my lungs.  I'm fine when I'm truly relaxed, but then sometimes I feel like I simply have this like choking feeling and feel like I cannot breathe.  Does anyone else have that at all??

And a question for any other girl out there...does anyone find that their anxiety/panic attacks get worse around "that time of the month"?

i am currently pregnant... but i do know that for the  2 weeks before my period. I am in anxiety hell.  i cantbreath right.. nothing is right.. physically.. or emotionally..  I am term now.. ready to give birth .. and in a way.. while i want to have the baby because of the discomfort.. and just plain wanting to see him.. i also kind of feel sadness.. because after i give birth that means that my periods will start up again.  and that means.. more panic.. i think i will breastfeed as long as i can..lol

I totally understand what you are going through ..

I know that I feel like I can't take deep breaths when I am panicked (for no reason, of course).  but I can take them!..it just feels that way!!!  Isn't it horrible?
