I went to the ER because I woke up from a nap after feeling very tired suddenly mid-day on a Saturday.
Upon waking, I felt a shortness of breath that I have been feeling and associated with a health problem (I'm female, otherwise sort of healthy, 39).
It progressed to major hyperventilation and almost passing out, shallow breathing. I was taken to the ER and they did EEG and other tests, looking for a blood clot in my lungs. Nothing.
I felt literally no anxiety and it felt purely physical. Can that be an anxiety attack? I had no flashback, no bad dreams, nothing. I am not aware of any anxiety, which is why I went to the ER, plus, I'd been having increasing shortness of breath.
