Are air bubbles in your iv ok?

[MayMayMeemers]

I got an Iv  today and i seen three small sized air bubbles go into my vien. I am having panic attacks! They let me go around two pm and it is 5:30 now. I felt fine and i started thinking about those bubbles. the dr says it is fine and I will be ok but I keep having arm and chest pain and shortness of breathe because of it. is this a panic attack? should i be worried???? my hands are tingling.

I saw air get into my bloodstream once and got a terrible panic attack instantly(first one ever). My blood pressure rised and I started feeling like I could not breath. Air bubbles do not belong in the bloodstream. Air could get trapped in the brain or somewhere else.

Ohhhh, and having tingly hands during a panic attack is perfectly normal...it is your body pulling the blood from your extremeities because it thinks it is in danger, a perceived danger, even if your not actually in danger. It is a protective mechanism...it happens to me all the time. The best thing to counteract it is take long, deep, slow breaths for several minutes.

I use to freak out about this as well but at the hospital I was assured it would pratically take a whole IV line full of air to do anything bad to you. That movie The Omen, shows Julia Stiles die from a small amount of air in her IV tube, but that is just a load of bull, it that amount is completely harmless!

NOTHING to worry about.
Your arm, chest, shortness of breath and hands tingling are anxiety.
