What Causes Sudden Breathlessness When Laying In Bed?
i just had a panic attack. I was just laying in bed minding my own business and then it felt like I was suffocating and I couldn't breathe. I felt like I would pass out or die..that's how bad it hurt to breathe..that was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me. am I anemic?
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. I don't think your symptoms are due to anaemia. Anaemia causes breathlessness on exertion, not on lying down. So I don't think you are having anaemia. In my opinion your symptoms are due to stress and anxiety. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Counselling is very important along with drugs for control of stress. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
