Panic Attacks Support Group
A panic attack is a period of intense fear or discomfort, typically with an abrupt onset and usually lasting no more than thirty minutes. Symptoms include trembling, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, nausea, dizziness, hyperventilation, and sensations of choking or smothering.

I was doing good for quite awhile, but the annoying chest pains have returned. I have tight muscles in the left side of my neck and in the upper part of my back and chest. I have been to the ER plenty of times for this and nothing is ever found... except the bottom of my wallet. I am trying DDP yoga now to get some stretching in my muscles, hoping this is just from my lack of activity life style. It just freaks me out when I cannot breath right, and I have panic attacks. I can no longer walk long distances and each time I know I have to I begin to panic. I had to walk to my final exam today and my heart was pounding. I know I am out of shape... like WAY out of shape. I know the final exam was causing a lot of the pressure and being outside of the house didn't help.All three combined was killer, but I made it through it. I feel like I am still recovering from it though and am exhausted. Also I am a little irritated I am like this now. Walking to a test, taking a test and being outside of the house for 3 hours killed my whole day, life should not be like this, I just want to be me again.
But at least I made it through today. So thanks for reading this and listening to me blather on about my PTSD and agoraphobia and weird chest pressure / breathing issues.
Current meds: Celexa (might be causing the breathing issues)
Valium as needed
Flexeril as needed ( to combat the muscle and chest pain)
Warfarin (blood clots from Factor V)
Inhaler (Asthma)
radatine (heat burn)

I don't go to the ER because of just that: no way could I afford to pay for a doctor that tells me there is nothing physically wrong. And I already know that it has to do with my mental state, rather than my physical state.
I do not advise this to anyone: but when I get those pains I keep on walking and don't stop.
google diaphragm breathing
maybe up celexa dose to get it working
