Hi, I’m Ashley. For about three years I’ve been having episodes for any number of reasons; pregnancy, heart conditions, currently I’m worried about swelling in my eye. I have a prescription for zoloft to help, but frankly I’m too scared the symptoms will cause another bout of anxiety. This is the first time I’ve reached out to anybody about this, and any support or advice would be appreciated.

Hi Ashley
It could be due to seasonal allergies or something irritated your eye
My best friends eye swells up often due to allergies or irritation
Try taking Claritin and using eye drops
If the swelling persists you can get it checked out but try not to jump to scary conclusions even though its hard
A year ago my eye would randomly spazz and twitch all the time
I was convinced something serious was wrong too but I'm still here

Hi
Just lately I keep thinking I can’t breath.
I am constantly thinking about my breathing and struggling to take deep breath.
My father died in October 2018 with lung c.when my father was diagnosed I started having so many symptoms but brushed them aside because I needed to be there for my father.
When I busy or active it takes my mind of things an I feel ok but when I sit and ponder my mind takes over.
I am now with my mother keeping her company for most of the day everyday.
I promised my father I’d look after her.
Does anybody else have trouble breathing when thinking about it?
Thanks in advance

Welcome Deano74. My breathing always gets worse when I think about it. Try to keep your mind off it if you can. Just the fact than when you are busy it goes away tells you it is the anxiety that is causing it. You have had a lot going with with a death in the family and worrying. Being there for your mom will also help you. It's great you are able to do that. Hope you get some relief from the breathing problem. There are great people on this forum and I am sure they have good advice.
Hi
I’m really suffering and worrying myself sick.
I just can’t sort my breathing out I keep thinking about it and can’t take deep breath.
I’m so scared I have something wrong with me.
When I’m busy I feel fine then when I sit thinking about it I feel like I’m going to die .
Does anybody else get this ?

Hi Deano74. Sounds like you're in a bit of an anxiety crisis. The symptoms you're having are very common to the state you're in. I know I have had each of your symptoms as some point in my many years as an anxiety sufferer. The first step is to convince yourself that no matter how severe the symptoms get, you're not going to die.
