Jessica -it was awesome hearing about your experience with anxiety attacks and how the pregnancy hormones took away all the symptoms for you! It's encouraging to consider that anxiety may be related to hormones and not just to serious life experiences. You're right about checking with a doctor. With my son's recent health problems, I've been anxious, but the breathing and exercise have helped me. He's been diagnosed with sleep apnea but expects to do better in a couple of days when he gets a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine that helps the breathing at night. We are still waiting on the MRI results which should be available next week some time. I think just taking action makes one feel more in control and less prone to the "what if" worries.
