breathing difficulty and weak limbs Posted: 01-18-08 19:36pm
I've had this condition for more than
10yrs already. It would occur whenever I
feel too excited or even for no reason at
all, eg, when I'm just sitting down. All
of a sudden, I would have this feeling of
breathing difficulty for a few seconds and
I can feel my limbs going weak. It feels
though I'm continuing to breathe but my
lungs are not getting enough air, it feels
suffocating.
Then, I would try to relax and calm myself
down. I'll force myself to breathe harder
and get in as much air as possible,
drinking warm water also helps a bit.
Usually I can recover in about 10-15mins
time, it's not a fatal condition just that
I would feel a bit uncomfortable.
May I know what I'm suffering from?

Sounds like anxiety disorder. You can
have symptoms when you are excited and/or
for no reason at all and it can come and
go. If you asked some questions about it
in the anxiety section, you will probably
get some good advice on what to do when
you have an "attack" or episode
