Was about to say this.
Do you also trigger while trying to exercise? I have had pretty intense panic attacks while trying to work. to the point of having dizziness, weakness, closing throat feelings, the works! Pretty shitty stuff. 15 minutes later, you are absolutely normal and feeling bummed and sometimes embarrassed as well.
I would also not wish a panic attack to my worst enemy.
What I'm trying to do now is short walks and getting more 'confidence'. I think what gets us/me is the "what if I trigger" thing.
So, going slow helps build a little of confidence. That's my current plan, at least. I know an attack is bound to happen, and I will not win every time, but I'm not gonna be deterred by it. I know exercise helps a ton.
Thank you for this reply and wish you well!
- orangepurple 4y agoI had those exact symptoms from not eating sufficients amounts of salt combined with not drinking enough water. Now I aim for 7 grams of table salt per day. Low sodium symptoms are indistinguishable from "feeling like you are dying."
- fb03 4y agoIn several other occasions, eating a little bit of salt helped as well ahah.
- projectazorian 4y agoHave you been checked out for asthma? It could be exercise induced asthma. I used to suffer from these symptoms a lot, finally broke down and asked my doctor about trying an albuterol inhaler - which has nearly cured it, as long as I remember to use it prior to exercise.
- fb03 4y agoYeah, it's not that. Just plain anxiety. Can happen even without exercising by becoming overly excited or worked up about something as well. It sucks, but getting better each day. If my anxiety is okay, or even if it's bad and I've taken a SOS medicine, I literally become infinite (in strength, endurance).
