I was like that yesterday at bed out of breathe with chest pains but I managed to get to sleep! are you not on any meds to help?

I'm on Prozac, but idk lately I have been having some bad chest congestion too so that just adds to it:(

Prozac used to work for me, but not at moment. I have diazepam regularly to help with anxiety and panic, but I still get the anxiety and panic.
I have started using meditation to help with the problem - just five minutes a day concentrating on deep slow breathing from your stomach can help. I also mix essential oils to help - I just sniff them. There are other distraction techniques to try and stop the anxiety and panic and it is worth trying them so that you start to be able to help yourself overcome these horrible feelings.
