has this happened to you?
Since I was diagnose with anxiety I have stopped breathing for 10 to 20 seconds four different times.One time my face went numb I rubbed it and the numbness went away but I couldn't breath. It was terrifying. The last time it happened I had bad head pressure like someone on squeezing my head really hard I started fading away from the world and then stopped breathing. has this happened to anyone else? does this even sound like anxiety?

Hi! Have you told your doctor that you have stopped breathing for a period of time?? I have panic attacks & for the 1st time yesturday I had the same symptoms except for the not breathing part. My cheeks were numb & tingley and my head felt like it was filled w/ pressure kinda like when u have a head cold. I'm sorry that you are experiencing the same terrifying feelings but please know that you are not alone! I would research some breathing techniques. They have been helping me when I feel like I'm not getting enough air. Good luck friend :)
