Please HELP ME ASAP....What should I do?What could this be?

[Nitsuj242]

Hello all,.Should I got to the E.R.? I'm feeling a heaviness on my chest or in my lungs. It feels like I can't get a full breath and am swallowing gunk. My throat feels a little tight. I feel as if i'm going to stop breathing in my sleep. Everytime i'm dozing off I jolt awake and get this weird sensation in my legs and body. I also get this weird head rush or light headedness when I jump awake like that.I feel a little tiny bit weak all over. It doesn't seem like my inhaler is doing anything to help.What do you think this could be? Could this be the seasonal allergies that are so bad right now? Asthma? Lung failure or something serious? Am I actually going to stop breathing in my sleep? I feel like my lungs are drowning in some kind of fluid and am having a bad time catching a breath or feeling comfortable.Feeling lie they are going to stop or shut down while sleeping.Please any help would be great. P.S. oddly enough I just had a chest x-ray done and everything came back fine.

There are many other meds to choose from. So, I think you will find something that works. Send me a personal message, okay.

Hey there, I sure hope so. I think you are right deep down. I know you are deffinitely right about how many times i've thought I was dying and went in just for them to say everything was ok.Do you think it could be all these allergies coupled with anxiety? Oh yes, I can't wait to get on something else. I have to wait until my next appointment and it's not until the 26th! Argg. I honestly don't think I can wait this long in this state. These symptoms NEED to stop. I can't go on like this with not being able to do anything productive with my life. I should be in school or working but this has consumed me to a point where even just staying at home thinking i'm going to die everyday is too much. I'm so frustrated. These meds my dr. keeps prescribing me are making me worse first with the Risperdall which really kick started and fueled my anxiety to the Buspar which doesn't work at all. His name is Michael Miller and he *****. He is a very nice guy but if anyone is here in my area of Santa Fe ,NM. Do NOT go to Dr. Michael Miller. He isn't doing crap but making me worse!!! I'm sorry to say this about him but it is true and I only hope for him to prove me wrong.

Hey there my friend. Sorry I accidently sent it to my self so i'm reposting this. :P Hey there my friend. I don't know! It is very weird. I guess so...it just feels like my lungs are heavy and I can't get a full breath. When I was trying to go to sleep I would jolt awake and my legs would tense up..very strange and this doesn't make any sense but when I jolted awake I felt like I was going to black out at the same time. As of at this exact moment I am getting these weird rushes like i'm going to fall asleep instantly or pass out, black out or die. I have been tired though. Yes allergies have been awful out here where we Iive as well. I keep swallowing fluid and feel like i'm drowning...throat is tight. I just don't like the whole sensation of blacking out/ possiblydying and not breathing well at all. I feel like my brain is just going to shut off. I just called the 24 hour nurse hotline and she thinks it's allergies. She said if nothing gets better to go into the Dr. on Monday. but unfortunately I can't if I need to due to therapy. Although I've got the CT scan scheduled to Wednesday the hospital also has a walk in check up section. Maybe just wait and go to that when I go for the CT scan? She thinks the blacking out feeling is from not eating today or sleeping right. I just dunno...i'm looking pretty pale.

It's anxiety, you've been through this countless times, and always come out the other side okay.

You will soon be addressing this with your doctor, and hopefully have a med you can take during these panic attacks.

Thank you for replying so quickly. Sorry to be a pest or annoying but I'm pretty frightened. Thank you

You know the symptoms of an asthma attack. Does it feel anything like that? If not, it could be your anxiety. I'm sure allergies are'nt helping any either.
