I know what you are going through and what everyone on here is going through. I am a 25 year old female, whom has always been healthy and no problems with anxiety or panic. It started back in February, when I woke up out of a sound sleep and couldn't catch my breath. My heart started to beat rapidly and I thought that I was going to pass out from hyperventilating. I got so scared that I called 911. During my hospital visit, everything came back fine. My EKG, chest x-ray, and blood work were all normal. I didn't understand what happened, but I could of swore that I was having a heart-attack or something. Ever since then, I have had attacks after attacks. I have been to the hospital a few times in the past couple of months and to my primary doctor. So far, thy keep saying panic/anxiety. It's hard because I don't know where it's coming from or where it came from. I have been on some meds, such as Lexapro, Xanax, Ativan, and Celexa. I get pains in my right through my chest into the back, and all up my neck in the back. It starts to drive me crazy. I just wish it would all go away so I could feel normal again. I got off the Lexapro and Celexa, because I didn't like the sexual side effect it has. So, right now I am just on Xanax 1mg. and have an appointment for a psychologist. I definitely know how it feels when night time comes around, because I have more symptoms, and I believe that it is just me being scared, thinking that I am going to die in my sleep. I am soooooo scared. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, short of breath. Like I can't catch my breath for a second or I feel like I stopped breathing for a second. I hope that it is from the anxiety/ panic attacks. Does anyone go through that? I hope it helps me out. I'm sure that the hospital and doctors are getting fed up with me by now. It is so good knowing that I'm not the only one out there going through this. Good luck to everyone and thanks for listening.
