I was reading a different post and had a question pop in my head and I'm hoping maybe someone will be able to answer it for me.
I do have C that's be categorized as mild but I'm starting to question if it's possibly getting worse or if maybe I'm just noticing more. I used to only have a C attack when angered or surprised and even then it was just a weakness and shakiness in my arms . However now it also happens when I'm talking to people about different memories and the weakness and shakiness is whole body to the point my voice is trembling and at times it's hard to talk. Ok so anyway to my question. I know that laughter can bring on a C attack. I'm wondering if what I experience when I laugh is a C attack or not. It's not every time I laugh. I have to really be in a major "laugh attack" as my sister refers to it. I will laugh so hard that there's no noise and I stop breathing. Sometimes only for a couple seconds but usually for a minute or more and by then my friends or family are yelling at me to breathe. I have asthma and when this happens it has sent me into an attack afterward where I'll be wheezy the rest of the night. Is my non-breathing laughter a C attack?
Thanks :)

i cant make a sound either when having a cat attack and laughing i feel it affects my breathing but not to where i am worried about it.
your memories must be stiring up an emotion and bringing on cat attacks. i get it more with laughter and if something upsets me, i dont seem to shake i just go weak all over including eye lids.
it does sound like a non breathing laughing may be a cat attack i have heard of other people not breathing properly when having a cat attack. xx
weird...!
Thanks again
