SoFragile;
I think the hyperventilating is a panic attack....My face used to get numb too. It was like a lion was in the room and about to eat me. The anxiety level was so high. I have had anxiety but it has been a while since I had panic attacks. Years ago I was having them all the time. At first, like everyone else that has them, I thought I was dying. Now I know what they are. When I had them I tried to roll with them and not panic because I was having them. That of course made them so much worse

Now, the anxiety is also in my stomach but sometimes gets just below a full blown attack. I think that is because I have good meds to help.

Not a good feeling.....

Take care of yourself;

Hugs;
