I do. I have bad days and good days. Usually if I feel overwhelmed or stressed I feel like I can't take a deep breath. It usually lasts entire day.

Me too. I don't like them either. I get this feeling like something is sitting on my chest and I can't breathe. It's a very scary feeling for me. I been struggling with this on and off for about 2 years.

Does it happen for you for seemingly for no reason. Just wake up and you already feeling like that ?

Me too. When I have days like that I can barely function. It's so hard to explain how it feels but I can barely do anything that day. I always feel so alone when I have a day like that. Is there something you do that helps you feel better?

Same it can ruin my day. I try to get out of bed and start my day anyway. Thats the only thing I can do is push through. Its like I'm short of breath/maneul breathing all day
