Hi there, I know how scared and bewildered you are feeling. I have felt and still do feel what you are feeling now. I too have anxiety and panic attacks and now depression , i also am now agoraphobic. I don't leave the house only because i am too scared i will have a panic attack out in public and because i always feel dizzy. I have had what you describe there with the breathing thing happening. I had all the tests done and they all came back ok. I was told it was all anxiety and stress. Of course i didn't believe them at first but after 2 years or so i imagined they must be right or else i would have been dead by now. I find that if i have had a very stressfull day or a day filled with extra anxiety or ( And this one even more so) if i get my self over tired, i get that "can't breathe when i go to sleep thing". I used to get it every night and the more i thought about the more i got it. I almost became obsessed with it and some nights i would be afraid to go to sleep knowing that it was going to happen again. With simple relaxation methods and when my anxiety levels were kept to a min, it went away. I make sure that i don't get myself too tired(( as this was my main trigger) and try to be relaxed as from 4pm on wards. That was a hard one. but it can be done with lots of looking after yourself and your need first.I know you are scared , I have been too , for so many years. One thing i am doing now is the accepting and not fighting the panic. It works, but it takes practise and you have to believe and have trust in you and your body.
Take care and be calm and look after you...
