Hi all,
I’ve been on meds for anxiety for just over a month now. A couple of days after I started taking the tablets I noticed how I was unable to take a deep breath when i needed it, and It would come suddenly as a wave and it would feel like someone is pressing down on my chest and throat.
Oddly enough, at times I feel like it’s coming from the abdomen traveling all the way up into my chest and then throat making it super hard to breathe.
anyone else experiencing this? It’s terrifying 😞
thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply. Can I ask, how long were you experiencing this for?

I would say about 3 months, I’m still experiencing it now
