i have had anxiety disorder most of my life but could always identify it. but lately it seems that for no reason what so ever i am feeling like i'm going to pass out, can't breath and my heart is beating out of control and i can't think of a reason why. i keep thinking i'm having heart problems but my pdoc says anxiety attack. do you guys get these attacks for no reason that you are necessarily aware of. thanks, k
My doc says it's anxiety, but my experience may be a little different. Usually it starts with a feeling that my chest is wide open ..... a feeling of being extremely vulnerable. Most of the time I can bear it until it fades away, but sometimes it gets worse and then my heart pounds and I lose my breath .... as if I've run a long distance. If I sit or lie down for a while I'm okay. It's been coming quite regularly now, just about every morning ... and it's not caffeine, it happens before I've had coffee.
