is this anxiety or something with my heart

[rlynn]

I am having problems with shortness of breath (really bad) struggling to get in a full deep breath.It feels like my air is being shut off.Also i am feeling tired, weak,nauseas,i feel cold then hot,not sleeping well. I feel like i have to prop up my head at night to get my breath.I feel like i am going to die from not catching my breath. I had problems when i was a little girl with nerves. took valium at 12 years old.I have had several episodes during the years in between then and now. I feel overwhelmed and edgey. It is hard for me to focus on relaxing i just can't. I don't do caffine or anything that would make me jittery,it just happens own it's own. I take zoloft 50mg 1@day,and also xanax .5mg 4 times @ day. I have actually taken these for meds for years. But lately they don't feel like they are working. I also have low thyroid i take meds for that too.I also have trouble with being forgetful and being dizzy. I don't want to spend the rest of my life on meds. I am a christian and i pray for myself all the time. Not trying to be selfish,I just don't want to feel bad anymore I want to be my happy self again and enjoy my 4 beautiful grandchildreen. Does anyone else out there have simiular symptons?      Thanks for any thoughts.
