Hey guys. I’m new here.

I have never been formally diagnosed with anxiety/panic disorder but it is evident that I have it. 6 doctors have suggested it.

I was prescribed Amoxicilin and Pantoprazole for my ear infection and bloating issues. 4 days in (last night & the night befor), I started having shortness of breath at nighttime. It was so hard to breathe. It got worse when I googled my symptoms and cried. I called an ambulance because I genuinely thought I went into anaphylactic shock. They took my vitals and everything was fine. They injected me with Benadryl too. When I got into the ambulance, all my itching/rash on my shoulder subsided. I got to the hospital , the doctor did a physical check up, and discharged me. I got home, went to sleep, woke up, and here the shortness of breath is again. I stopped taking the antibiotics, and I’m still somehow convinced I’m going into anaphylactic shock.

This is not the first time my Er visits have turned into nothing. 3 weeks ago, I was at the mall with my mom , eating, when all of a sudden I couldn’t breathe. I went to the ER , they did a chest x Ray, CBC (blood test), and an ECG, and confirmed nothing was wrong & suggest seeing a psychiatrist.

I think I’m a hypochondriac. As of now, I’m still itching all over, still can’t manage to breathe properly as I feel like someone is stepping on my chest, and I’m having random pains everywhere.

Someone reassure me that I’m not gonna die lol.

You are safe and it will be ok. Try breathing to this animation.


Have your doctors considered you might be allergic to Amoxicilin or Pantoprazole? I just wonder because of the itching and other symptoms. I don't know your history and am not a doctor, but one of my relatives has reactions to certain drugs which affected her breathing and caused skin irritations.

I hope you feel better.

Amoxicillin gave me hives, so I can't take it anymore. I can take other antibiotics though.

I think having trouble breathing (and even chest pains) can be symptoms of a panic attack. Seeing a psychiatrist about this is probably a good idea.

No, because this is my first time taking it. I'm panicking right now because I believe that since I stopped taking it, I might develop resistant bacteria.

As of now, I have this intense burning in my chest, throat, nose and especially my head. I read that sinus infections cause this, and sometimes it can spread to your brain and cause death ! I took Tums to help the chest burning but it's not going away !! I can't go to the hospital bc I literally just got back this morning.

Is stress causing this? I also had hot flashes earlier. The doctor at the ER didn't check for anything and said I was fine. Like I said, 3 weeks ago I got an ECG/chest x-ray/blood tests done and they all came out fine.

Why is my head literally burning? (it feels like the same sensation I felt when they gave me benadryl through IV)

I keep getting hot flashes as of now. My chest, throat, and head have burning sensations. I don't know if this Is heartburn or something else. I stopped taking the antibiotics and I'm worried that i'll develop resistant bacteria and it will lead to something deadly. My throat/head is on fire right now. I still feel like someone is stepping on my chest and I'm getting sharp pain under my left breast. I took tums to alleviate the burning in my chest but it's not working. I read something somewhere about sinus infections causing burning sensations in the head and they can also kill you?? I'm freaking out and I can't go back to the ER cuz I just got back this morning.

can stress cause this? I can't seem to calm down
