Panic

I think I am having panic attacks. Or maybe they're anxiety attacks. Are they the same?

Past 2 nights I've woken up with a super tight feeling my chest, feel like I can't breathe, and am just scared to death.. Of what....I don't know. Neither time have I remembered a bad dream I was having. I am able to calm myself down and then I'm fine.

sounds like panic attacks. a low dose of anti anxiety meds will help

See a doctor. (I used to get them, and get rid of them by dealing with the emotional source.)

chronic stress, worry, on-the-brink of life changing decisions.. all of these are precursors, so it wouldn't be at all surprising.

the main thing is full, emptying exhales. full inhales, followed by full exhales. aerobic exercise (by day) is a good way to help, too. (just what you didn't want to hear, huh?)
