chichi
I have experienced similiar thing. Mine is in my throat but it feels like it will swell shut. I get anxious when I feel it, which only increases the feeling of "can't breath". Then comes the thoughts of me not being able to breath....and that is very scary to me. I have been doing self talk and it helps some. I tell myself it is part of anxiety...its a feeling...I am not hurt...I can breath.....I just keep repeating that kind of stuff. If I get feeling really bad I will take a xanax and soon the feeling is gone. It's very uncomfortable though when it happens.
I hope you are feeling better today!
