IS THIS ANXIETY-PLS PLS HELP

Hi everyone.

just as i was relaxing in front of the t.v i started feeling like i couldn't breath very well, not the kind
you get with exercise but a very unpleasant feeling i didn't get enough air. i didn't panic at first but
i put my head between my knees and then i started to be afraid . it feels like someone is blocking
my nose. i took my bp and pulse they were perfect. not even palpitations (which i get sometimes).

i had my annual check up at the cardiologists last week (who said im perfect, he did an ekg) and also
my oxygen level is fine.

i don't get this sensation when i exercise. what could it be?the whole thing lasted abt 20min.
i didn't have any other symptoms so i am baffled.

history:
33 fem with hashimotos underactive - checked
mild mvp mild mitral insuffiency - checked
history of panic attacks (was on zoloft for 6 months 3 yrs ago)

PLS PLS RESPOND

yeah i agree with all of them. it might be panic attack. just like what happens to me. This might be due to your MVP.
I was diagnosed with MVP when I was in my 3rd grade. I didnt have all the panic attacks symptoms until I reached college.

Keep in touch, its always nice to have somebody as a support group.

i am always stressed!!! i have 3 beautiful but very energetic children who are always up to something. the funny thing is i exercise almost everyday now and never ever get that feeling.
