A member asked:
Woke up feeling like i couldnt breathe. but didnt have increased rr. anxiety or acute reso failure? no progression since an hour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acute Anxiety: I understand your distress of, “feeling like i couldnt breathe” With the gift of logical reasoning, see the reality that after one hour, you are breathing! This is NOT Acute respiratory Failure. Focus on Blessing and Wonder of 3 million air sacs in your lungs due to which you are alive and functioning. See Physician for Medical Diagnosis. See Psychiatrist for Therapy and Medication for Anxiety.
