Hi there, I understand that you're going through a lot of discomfort. In my opinion, it is very crucial to understand whether you're experiencing only anxiety symptoms or having an anxiety disorder. For instant relief, you can do box breathing/square breathing exercises. Please feel free to reach out to me on WhatsApp at nine six five three four nine three six nine zero, to better understand your symptoms and provide you relief.

Your symptoms sound very distressing. They could be related to severe anxiety or panic, especially since they worsen at night and when you’re alone. Anxiety can cause a feeling of suffocation despite normal oxygen levels, dry mouth, poor sleep, feeling detached or “zoned out,” and difficulty processing what people are saying. Lack of sleep can make these symptoms even more intense. However, because you’re also experiencing confusion, feeling numb in crowded places, and episodes of zoning out, it’s important not to assume it’s only anxiety. Please consult a psychiatrist or physician for a proper evaluation to rule out any medical or neurological causes. In the meantime, try to maintain regular meals, avoid long gaps without eating, reduce caffeine, and practice slow breathing when symptoms begin. If these episodes become severe, you lose consciousness, or your confusion worsens, seek urgent medical attention. If you want to take online therapy sessions, connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hi, medicines can help. Consult online for treatment

The severe somatic symptoms you are describing such as a subjective feeling of suffocation despite normal oxygen levels, an overwhelming nighttime "void," extreme thirst, and dry mouth—strongly point toward severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) with nocturnal panic attacks. When your body enters a hyperarousal state, the fight-or-flight response dries up saliva production and causes rapid, shallow breathing (hyperventilation), which clinically creates the sensation of air hunger or suffocation. Additionally, your experiences in crowded places (feeling numb, a frozen brain, and a weird ringing or sensation in your ears) indicate sensory overload and mild dissociation (zoning out), which your mind uses to protect itself when anxiety levels spike too high.
