If its any comfort - i know how you feel....i used to get the exact same feelings really bad. It took ages for me to calm down too.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel!! thankfully i can deal with these symptoms better now and although it still happens sometimes i feel a lot stronger to deal with it.
Hang in there

You sound just like me. You're not dying. I can promise you that. Depression, anxiety, and stress can do unbelievable things to your body! Our bodies were not created for stress so our bodys' response is harsh. Hang in there. Watch a funny movie or something. That's what I do when I think I'm dying.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
