can panic attacks make you feel like you cant breathe?

[jessica41481]

can panic attacks make you feel like you can't breathe even if you don't feel anxious? i mean since this is all new to me. can it come in different ways? i thought i was having an asthma attack. the last time i had an asthma attack i was 12.

im thinking that maybe i should go to the doctor just in case. because even now taking a really deep breathe feels tight!

if there isn't any anxiety involved, most likely it's not a panic attack. definitely check with your doctor, that sounds like shortness of breath or an asthma symptom

Yes, I think so. They've made me feel this way too

They've made me feel like this but theres always anxiety involved as well, so I'd talk to your doc about the asthma.

Peace

I would assume so.

panic attacks

Panic attacks are due to an underlying evolutionary response which is being trigger out of context. The "fight or flight" response occurs in response to danger, flooding your body with adrenaline. With panic attacks. this response is trigger without any obvious sign of danger.
