What Causes Chest Tightness And Stress In A 57 Year Old Man?

default
Posted on Wed, 13 Jul 2016
Question: Condom ads, I rarely see them but they are an interesting commercial too

So I find that when weekends come up I tend to spend a lot of time trying to sleep. I do mean a lot of time.

Not sure if I am tired from all the stress
If I am trying to escape getting up and possibly find my breathing bothersome
Or both of the above
Oh a I'm trying to rest more so that I have energy

Did we ever discuss if my stress induced inflammation could have additional triggers or irritants that could worsen it. Things such as cat hair, dust, smells like cigarette smoke or smoke from fires? Things you can find in an old house?

What day of the week is it for you? Are you hours ahead or behind me

I am going to relax and probably snooze waiting for your reply.

Take care my oddly , fun , similar likings friend.

Oh, i had an old school classmate die yesterday. I felt bad for his family but I was not devastated in my anxiety or stress. We were not close friends. What he died from was gory as our movie types. He first was diagnosed in February with glio brain cancer. Then during treatment he developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Oh now that's gross to look at. At least he died quckly

Today's word. It's just anxiety mediators inflaming the airways, ignore it and it will slowly go away. Is that ok to think when I feel sob

And it will take time

Opened the door and let panic in this weekend. I am having a hard time breathing comfortably except when laying down.

Must get back to a walk and biking program to see if it helps

De-stress and relaxing is needed in greater forms.

It is 9:20 pm, I am reading on my iPad as I relax in bed

I let in anxiety by doing little bits of thinking of sensations I noticed as my medication wore off and the mediators were firing. That caused worry on the inflammation concerns. I should have just said " it's nothing, ignore it, it will go away.
Do you know that thinking worked well back when I had panic sensations about my heart, a visit to the emergency room showed me that I was fine so infused that thinking and it went away. Now breathing complications are a harder thing to face and defeat. More challenging. Must find a new and better approach to this confrontation to overcome I still felt like I was limited to air in and limited to amount of available lung space to breathe before stomach said I will push back on you

No no, er was 5 years ago from a panic attack on my heart. It was fine but I panicked enough that I believed it was real and it hurt enough from ghost pains of mediators that I went. All tests said no so I had to learn a form of overcoming the mediator response to get well. Now I must do it with this and it's harder when your breathing is affected

Sorry for the scare. Sorry your team lost

Anxiety did not go down over night. Breathing in is still an issue and stomach is pressing up into lungs making it more uncomfortable

To much release of stress mediators inflaming lungs. Need to shut them off and get inflammation out.

I need to reassure self of the cause and not what I think it may be
