Sleep paralysis

I'm still not 100% convinced I haven't got a mental condition!

latley i have been sitting/ standing somewhere and i cant breathe, i try not to show it but i just cant catch my breath, and my heart pounds. i dont have a clue what it is but i was just sitting on the bus thismorning on the verge of passing out because i couldnt catch my breath for so long, but the shit thing is, i feel fine a second later its got my head fucked

i think i have, i have been to the doctors (i wouldnt have if it wasnt for a few people on this board) and he seems to think it is nothing and he didnt even reccomend i go to a specialist, its a long waiting list anyway and i think it will, no i hope it will have passed by then

I've had that before, and the more you think about your breathing the more iregular it gets.
I think it's because breathing is an automatic thing, if you focus your mind on it to much you can convince yourself you can't breath properly.

That sounds like a panic attack mate. A mild one though.

YEAH!, when it started i was thinking "breathe properly sean" then it got worse lol

i had nothing to be panicy about, i was sitting on the bus happy as larry listning to my ipod :spangled:

If it gets really bad it turns into a panick attack.
I've had it before where I lost all feeling in my arms and hands and got a pain in my chest and then passed out.
I panicked more as I convinced myself I was having a heart attack.

In a panic attack you panic because you convince yourself you can't breathe.

thats what i was worried about, fucking hell we should all start a support group you know the "i'll rub your back if you rub mine" sort of thing

ah right, i thought it was the shock of something

I used to get them as a kid, I got really bad asthma and went into a panic attack as I was unable to breathe.
It's all only mental, but really scary.

i am a freak, just a popular freak that gets muff, knocks mixes out and likes getting fucked

That doesn't mean it wasn't one. They could come out of nowhere. The signs are there - Racey heart, unable to breath properly and it became worse when you tried to calm down....

A good mate had one at an after party. He had ate a lot of pills and suddenly couldn't breathe properly, his heart began to race which caused slight chest pains. He's a fit and healty lad, but he thought he was gonna have a heart attack and die. We managed to calm him down though. Was scary though seeing it happen!

Get one posted then. If you already have - link please.

That sounds more like a possession to me

The scary thing is that panic attack symptons are similar to those of a hearth attack.
My stepmom had a few panic attacks, then one day she had a heart attack.
I tried calming her down and getting her to breath thinking she was having a panic attack, by the time we came to the hospital it was to late.
Later it turned out that the previous few panic attacks might have been minor heart attacks, but the doctor never diagnosed that.
