Physical Symptoms Causing Anxiety

[Conspiracy Bird]

Some time ago I posted about the return of a feeling of suffocation, on-again off-again. Today I planned to visit my grandparents (the last time I visited I had a terrible panic attack on the way home), and indeed this morning my anxieties were worse. I had trouble getting into the car and a hard time during the ride, the feeling was providing me with so much anxiety, I started to think I might actually suffocate and became afraid, the fear going up and down throughout the day. It just annoys me that I got so caught up in my physical symptoms. I had a bad day and suppose I just need to share.

I was actually about to post something similar. I have this issue too, especially if it relacts to my neck or throat. If i feel the slightest thing wrong I freak out. I don't like anyone touching my neck for this reason, even I don't like touching my own neck. I know it's irrational, but it doesn't feel irrational, ya know? I obsess over these thoughts in my head. It's scary and annoying.
I have to basically ride it out and tell myself i got these anxieties hundreds of times before and nothing has happened to me then, it won't happen to me now.
