That's how I was, back in November my symptoms started. They'd include - shortness of breath, tight feeling in chest, numb fuzzy feeling through chest, stiffness in back shoulders and neck, exhaustion and shaking. I went to the doctors cause it was getting so extreme that I'd panic and not be able to breath, or the pains in my chest would get so severe that I'd feel I was having a heart attack or something!! Turns out I've got social anxiety disorder, even though I'm a generally happy person and was back in November too! I had nothing to feel stressed or worried about so I dunno where it came from or why. I'm on strong medication and take one tablet a night before bed, they pretty much knock me out so I get a good nights sleep and the side effects to them are depth perception and blurred vision, which is why I have to take them before bed rather than at morning. There's been a few occasions where I've fallen asleep early and forgotten to take my tablet, and the next day I'm an awful panicky mess and feel like I can't breath. It's horrible but the meds really do control it for me...
Not suggesting or saying you have anxiety, cause it could be anything! Maybe it's the heat cause I know hot weather affects some people in ways like that? If you feel worried then you should try seeing your GP, and please PLEASE don't search your symptoms online, they always come up with horrible illnesses or say silly things like you're dying and it just panics people! xxx
