Thank you.


When it's happening I can't seem to take deep breathes. It's very painful to do so. It's very hard to breathe when it's happening. I try to reamin calm and take deep breathes, but every intake feels like it is making my chest tighter. I have also tried to lay down, but that makes it 100x worse.


I feel sore after, yes. And lightheaded and heaviness in my arms. I was scared the first few times it happened that it was a heart attack of some type.

The odd thing is, I don't always feel anxiety when it happens. It seems to be when my heart rate goes up. Or when I'm asleep. Do people often get woken up by panic attacks?
