Well I was having anxiety attacks about a
year ago and it was real bad. I have been
to the er for anxiety attacks before but I
can usually control them now. I started
taking zoloft and I have been cured until
last week. Somthing set off my anxiety
and this week has been hell. I have
trouble breathing, eating, fast heart
beat, and trouble sleeping. The thing
that scares me the most is the trouble
sleeping. I sleep maybe an hour to two
hours a day. Im not sure if it is because
my throat is swelling or that im just
scared to sleep. My lungs also feel like
they are burning sometimes and they are
always tired. Hard times =( haha well I
am back on zoloft and they also gave me
prednisone to stop my throat from
swelling.
I was wondering if anyone else felt as if
their lungs were burning or tired or had
truoble sleeping?

I never had the burning feeling in my
lungs but have had the throat and
breathing problems many times. I think it
is good that you are on zoloft as that
helped me more than any other med but I
think I have found something else that is
good. Join a cbt group. I still have a
little over have way to go but I am making
good progress with it and there is a
thought exercise called a tea form that
the better I get at using the more it
helps me. Good luck and I hope you get a
handle on this as it sounds like it is
turning into agoraphobia for you and you
don't want that to happen from what I have
heard.

Perhaps Acid Reflux? Posted: 05-25-06 03:21am
It might be your diet. Try eating
soemthing water-rich for dinner, like a
garden salad with salad. Something that
will digest easily. Then see if you
still suffer at night with that. Worked
for me!

those are all symptoms of
an anxiety disorder. What type of anxiety
do you have?
