Hi, i'm new hear and have already found
some comfort in reading other posts. I've
experienced anxiety and panic attacks off
and on throughout my life but over the
past couple years i've been in a grieving
process/midlife restructuring and that
with adrenal fatigue the symptoms are back
full-force and I am in need of some
reassurance right now. I know having a
tight throat is a common symptom but
lately mine is so bad that it feels like
something is pushing into my windpipe with
unrelenting force and when I turn my head
side to side it cuts off air further. Is
that familiar to anyone? Also, a
pressure-like sensation in my head and
nose that feels like it will explode along
with a profound feeling of suffocation.
When I sit down or lie on my back it makes
it worse and the only semi-relief I have
is laying on my side. Also, lots of air
from my abdomen when all this happens.
This has become all consuming and makes me
feel like i've entered into a nightmare.
I would love to hear from anyone who can
relate and is there anything that has
helped besides working on relaxation and
letting time pass? (i love claire weeks
work)
thanks for your support, anita
