Is difficulty breathing while lying down a sign of anxiety?

Patient's Query

Hi, my name is aiden i am 14 years old and I've been wondering if there something wrong with me when i lay down on my chest i find it a lil hard to breathe sometimes i wonder if its axizety or i might be overthinking but other then that ive been having axizety making it hard for me to sleep and i just feels like my eyes are close but im not getting any sleep what should i do

Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal

When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night.  You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.

I can earn good money. And secondly, the tension of my family is always in my mind, these things are always going around in my mind because my family environment is very disturbed and nothing is going right here.And every time I'm stressed I always have depression

Male | 25

This could be due to stress, not enough sleep, bad eating habits, or maybe even depression. The best thing to do is take care of yourself by getting enough rest each night; exercising regularly will also help keep your energy levels up throughout the day. Healthy food can improve mood swings associated with this condition. You’re still young so don’t worry too much.

I have time phobia.Sir I cannot study

Male | 17

The fear or anxiety related to time or the passage of time can make it challenging to focus on studying and other tasks. To cope up., break your study sessions into smaller, clear goals, set a regular study schedule, and use time management techniques. Practice relaxation and limit distractions.

Hello so i am a 13y old boy. Since this month i had some panick attacks and hyperventillation(i had 2 one today and one 2 weeks ago) i would ask how i can stop making having panick attacks or hyperventillation.

Male | 13

Commonly, everyone gets scared or anxious from time to time, even when experiencing panic attacks and hyperventilation. These are most likely caused by stress, fear, or anxiety. Signs are quick breathing, chest tightness, and dizziness. Apart from doing deep breathing exercises, training in mindfulness, and talking to a trustful person, can also reduce panic attacks.

The tetanus toxoid vaccine produces immunity by blocking the bacterial infection. If you see redness, warmth, or swelling, or if you have fever or muscle stiffness, contact the doctor as fast as you can. Monitor the different symptoms that may arise and just come back to us if there is any need

Can I take methylphenidate and clonidine HCL .1mg together?

Male | 21

Methylphenidate can be taken with Clonidine, but make sure to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.  Methylphenidate is used for ADHD and Clonidine is sometimes used for high blood pressure as well as ADHD.  Combining them might help to control symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, or inattention.  If you have any worries or notice any new symptoms then always talk to your doctor about it.

Can i take herbal vitamin b12 supplements while I am taking antidepressents.

Female | 43

Vitamin B12 herbal supple­ments go great with antidepre­ssants. If B12 is low, feelings might be tire­d, weak, and dizzy. Antidepressants can make­ it hard for B12 to absorb properly in the body. A suppleme­nt helps keep normal B12 le­vels. Tell your doctor before­ starting any new supplement.

I had drug induced psychosis how can I know if it’s only drug induced psychosis or if it’s like schizophrenia or something

Male | 22

A psychiatrist’s consult needs to make a determination whether your psychosis is substance abused induced or if it may signify a more serious mental illness, like schizophrenia. A psychiatrist can conduct a comprehensive assessment and steer you in the right direction for treatment. I suggest that you see a psychiatrist who specializes in psychotic disorders.

Lack of Sleep I want some sleeping pills

Female | 19

The signs of sleep deprivation, such as feeling exhausted, being moody, and having difficulties concentrating, can be bothersome. The reasons can be stress, too much screen time before bed, or a noisy environment you cannot control. Rather than sleeping pills, develop a soothing bedtime routine, such as reading a book or taking a warm bath to calm your mind. It can help you get the sleep you need.
