I have been suffering with anxiety issues since I was a child and been a hypochondriac most of my life. I use to have a great grip on my anxiety for about 4 - 5 years until I lost a good friend abruptly this past year. Since the loss my panic and anxiety has been almost nonstop due mostly to my hypochondria which I posted recently about here, "Stuggling for a While" was the post. I normally recognize my usual triggers and can dodge them, such as heart palpitations, momentary heaviness in my chest, and a general sense of my end coming soon.
Yesterday while speaking with a customer mid-sentance I just lost my breath, like it had just left me and that triggered my panic like no other. I thought it was all over for me and I just sat at my desk for a half hour after the client left thinking what do i do. Now a couple hours ago I thought I was about to feel the same feeling that I did yesterday but it seemed to pass, unfortunately just the thought of it coming threw me into a panic spiral. IF this is an anxiety related symptom I would just like to hear that to know that I should be ok, and if anyone can explain why after so many years of consistent physical trigger symptoms why now is my mind trying to throw me curve balls. I'm tired of seeing doctors and being told its always anxiety, it's become embarrassing. I know I carry this issue but just to hear similar ordeals I feel can help calm my mind.
Thakn you in advance for any guidance or support.
