Scared and Exhausted

Like a week ago i got up to drink some of my gatorade and it went down the wrong pipe and Immediately started coughing and my chest felt like it was burning really bad and I could barely breathe. Ever since then I have been trying really hard not to get water or other fluid in my lungs by drinking really slowly but it seems like im trying so hard not to get water in my lungs like now im doing it unintentionally by trying so hard not to and its probably a mental thing but I have been getting water in my lungs this whole week and then ill cough and then after for like a day it will feel like my chest is burning and I have shortness of breath and it feels like im going to cough up blood. I aspirated again today and now the feeling is worse than its ever been and it seems like it just keeps getting worse and I can barely breathe and my chest hurts so bad and its burning and feels like i can barely breathe and Im going to cough up blood. Im afraid if i get water in my lungs again accidentally Im going to have to go to the hospital and get like a feeding tube or something

I know how you feel, I get this way too sometimes but just try to take a deep breath and realize that nothing is wrong with you. You are safe and healthy love.

@Ririgirl What did the doctors say when you went? Did it ever cause like pneumonia or bronchitis? Did you experience like constant chest pain and shortness of breath? My family laughed at me when i told them what i was experiencing

@Ririgirl Im a hypochondriac too its so bad so im like is there actually something wrong with my throat muscles or is it just my mind making me think that there is something wrong and now im worried that i have gave myself bronchitis. I dont want to have an endoscopy because i dont want to be put to sleep. I get deathly scared of anesthesia. I hope they can rule it out before having to put me to sleep

Do you feel the same?

I felt really overwhelmed with my thoughts and just so over it. I had my breathing controlled normally. It’s just so fucking annoying and frustrating that a normal thing like breathing is a hassle and something that I’m scared to do on a day to day basis recently. I had it controlled. I just wanna know if there’s people out there with a similar problem or something. I have this thing, this problem with a feeling of my thoughts coming out of my breath when I breathe I can’t breathe normally. It’s annoying and it takes me a couple days to finally catch my breath. I was doing good but then I ran out of my meds and the problem came back I was off my meds for 2 days. I had a breakdown about it today bc the thoughts are so perverse and I just wannabe in a normal situation again and be happy and normal it’s so hard to maintain. I don’t know what’s going on.

Chest pain

I just had a really awful chest pain that felt like my chest was exploding and im really terrified. I feel like maybe it was a heart attack but idk. I've had many ekgs and a chest x ray and they don't find anything wrong with me. Idk what this means anymore im so sick of being scared that ill die. Can anyone relate at all? It comes out of nowhere

Reflux cough does not want to go away with meds

Im taking Gaviscon but i feel weird and im afraid its actually not good for me. Maybe its not good that im keep reeding about why its not helping, i read that maybe i have another problem not acid reflux. I think that cause I dont have the acid taste in my mouth, not even the heartburn, its just a really annoying cough that doesnt stop and throat soreness, and sometimes chest pressure. It makes me feel anxious to a point that it worseness my symptoms, i started to feel weak and like theres a huge problem... I only startes taking Gaviscon yesterday, i took 3 times but the cough its still there and I read that if it doesnt gets better maybe i dont have acid reflux. I dont want to think about this but the symptoms make me so scared
