Q: anxiety disorder ?

I posted this question in another section and someone suggested that I post here. May I know if i can evr recover or are there any treatments that i can seek?

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?

Yeah, it sounds possible this could mirror a bit of anxiety in your life. Set back and think of you daily routine and see if there is any thing that you are unhappy or hesitatnt about doing each day, week or month. Sounds like it is not as bad as some but, what we here call "tiggers" are the things you have to take into considerations. Like me, I have many and I know what they are. I wish I could walk away from some of them, but being family matter I just can't. Now something like work as a "trigger" you can leave that behind and find a less stressful one. These are just some examples what could cause an attack. Tiggers are the most common cause of anxiety. Then you have the onset of unexpected anxiety. Like when something unusual happens that you did not expect and hard to handle.

If this continues or worsens see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis to be sure.

Wishing you the best and hoping this helps a bit,
