So here I am sitting by the computer, at home, reading some articles and all of a sudden I kind of felt a shortness of breath (most likely all in my head). I then became hyperaware of my breathing and if I had to make myself breath; my vision got blurry-ish (not too bad).
Anyway, I am trying to not make this turn into a full fledge panic attack. I got in my car (probably not the best idea) and went to the gas station to get gas and drove around the neighborhood a little to get my mind off of it. I think it is if off of it enough but the breathing thing is still bothering me.
It's been almost 30 mins. I was thinking of driving to the hospital, haha. I know they will tell me it is just anxiety symptoms, but I don't know, this hasn't happened to me really. 4-5 years ago something similar happened I became hyperaware of my breathing, and threw into a panicky state, but that was the only time it really happened and never felt something like this again (until now).
If this becomes the norm, I am going to start meds.
