Question: New thought, I do not remember your response to my question about breathing when you are laying down and when you are standing or sitting. I mentioned that I breathe easier when laying than when standing.

Anyway, I notice in the morning when I get up, my breathing in is limited but eases up some as I get going. It can occur again during the day. I wonder if this is related to my medication wearing off from the dose I had last taken

I have noticed that when I waken in early morning hours, I have sensations of panic hormone release. I figure the medication has worn off and I need to take a dose. Does the release of hormones stimulate me again and I need to take my meds and relax from it so I can breathe better

I must have confused you. So sorry, I was indicating the I take lexapro and that when it wears off, the symptoms have a tendency to be more noticeable. Not that the lexapro has anything to do with them occurring, but that taking it helps my body not notice them.

The doseage is 10 mg per dose once at 5am and once at 9pm

I get up at 5am to go to work at 6 am. I will rise, take shower, get dressed, and have a cup of coffee before I leave, and watch/read news.

Your on odd hours today, Usually your replies come in later in the day for me. You must be in middle of night right now.

I take when I rise, and once before bed

I am in Central USA. It is just about 4pm here right now. I am presently at work.

I dont really consider your responses late, I am aware of the time differences and have made considerations for when I should hear back. This is why I was able to realize that you are on odd hours right now. I am a Financial Controller/Accountant for a medium size retail Corporation. Yes I have work Stress, I have had that for years. I have considered that the work stress has grown over the years and has been one of a few big factors to my overall stress.

I have my own office line here at work. I use it along with my own Cell phone for all use. Private and Business use.

Money Money Money $$$$$$$$$$$$$ Greedy Ha ha ha.

I Read 20 years to live and was sad, I live day to day with hopes of long life. --- Then I reread and you said at LEAST 20. Thanks that made me feel better.

For Your Information, not sure why, but after a short nights sleep, probably like you last night, I woke feeling great. Better than I have in a long time.!!!!!!!

You Mention Stress Factors?, I have had a bit of time lately to think of the stress in my 56 years. What I have realized is that I have lived a life of more stress and anxiety than I think the average person does/has. I never noticed it until I considered the way my life has been.

It has been in personal life, work/career life/ social life, religious life. My childhood was stressful, teen years, young adult, middle age, and now as I turn the corner to upper years. I have overlooked or hid my stress well. I know that smoking has a relaxing effect on the body and I believe that I was in some form of control while I smoked. Once I quit, I started losing that effect and now have let the contributing factors to compound. I will never ever ever ever ever go back to smoking but I must find that point of relaxing again to find that happy time.
I too do not want to remain on medicine so I must do something more than what I have been doing
