So I`m having a bit of an issue the last week.
After doing strength training the last month, I ended up collapsing at home with high heart rate shaking, anxiety etc. Since I assumed something was very awry, i called 911, but after 10 minutes i started to stabilize. The whole episode was very traumatic, Ive only experienced something similar after a football training early in my illness when I thought i was having a heart attack and collapsed in the street.
Then some days later while at the store i felt my heart started to pound again, and a sense of incoming doom. I also started to get shaky, so decided to find a backroom and sit down. I was starting hyperventilate from the stress of the situation, and eventually ended up calling 911 again. I then didnt return to normal for like 2 hours, struggled to talk and was hyperventilating the whole time
Then two days ago it happened at a store again, it felt like my heart was about to explode through my chest while in the queue, but i somehow managed to stay on my feet.
Today i felt it coming on again while making dinner, and it was so bad i had to turn it all off and go to bed.
Thanks for reading this far.
Now, ive had this disease for 5 years, but the last week has been really hard to cope with with these episodes. I dont really understand whats going on. Am i getting panic attacks due to the first episode, or am i getting ME/CFS-related crashes which lead to panic attacks?
The doctors have no clue why this is happening, any insight would be much appreciated!
