Insomnia, Difficulty in breathing
Hi! Right now I am feeling drowsy because I take 1 tablet of clonazepam. However most of the time I feel like I can't catch my breath and it's very difficult to breath to the point that I always gasp. I can't sleep well either, it's already 4 to 5 am and I still can't get sleep. I was given double dosage of fluoxetine before but I don't take that meds no more without doctors advice. I've been like this for almost a month now please help me.
Hello there,
Well the problems you are facing are typical of a Generalised Anxiety which includes air hunger or feeling as if chest is not completely filling with air or difficulty breathing. First thing to do is consult with a Chest Physician to rule out Asthma and Allergic Disorders. If you have already ruled that out you should see a Psychiatrist asap. Breathing issues are one of most disabling feature of Anxiety. A detailed consultation will be required to find the root cause of your problem.
