back in sept.I had just quit smoking went to dr with coughing and wheezing in my chest,lasted for months, dr said ciggs had cought up with me and I might have copd, Ever since after reading so much about this
I got this attack that I thought I was suffercating not good. my dr says fvc1 74% which is not bad, ct scan looks not to bad diagphram is good.
I don't ever know if I do have copd DR just says  probably after smoking so long we would all have it.that is not an answer,I want to know for a fact.I am feeling panic and this needs to stop I never had this even when my wife died afew years ago after 27yrs together
I can not go through this stuff again please someone advice me I can't relax day or night.
there has to be a way to calm down feel helpless.live alone my two girl don't ever call to see how I am doing.sorry for venting

Hi, It's a long time since you posted your question but if you're still having trouble, here goes.  First get yourself to an asthma doctor who will be able to tell whether it's an asthma attack (which can be brought on simply by stress) or COPD, or Bronchaitis, for heaven's sake.  As for the anxiety, xanax if the best working as far as I know, addictive, but it will give you a moment to relax until you find out what's wrong.
Hope you're feeling better by now

Hi, It seems reasonable that if you take any med that the way to get off of it is to at lease half it and not go cold turkey.  It gives your body time to adjust and not cause so much anxiety.

Hi , My Doctor Put Me On Lorazepam 1MG , Two Months Ago To Calm Me Down. As I Have Interstitial Cystitis, So I Had A Lot Of Pain..
So I Have Not Been On it For That Long. But I Want To Come Off Of It Now As I just Don't Want To be Hooked On it .
So I Stoped Taken It For Two Days Now , But Now When I try To Go To Bed And Sleep , I Can't . Since I Have Been On It For Only Two Months Could I Just Take Half A Pill And Then try To Stop It ? Would You Please Tell Me How To Get Off Of This Stuff Now Please.
I Started Taken St John's Wort Two Days Ago And I  Stoped The Lorazepam,
But Now I Don't No What To Do ,
          Thank You So Much,
