I was diagnosed with mild depression a few years ago. It was triggered by my pain from having fibromyalgia and messed up discs in my lower back. However, in the last couple of weeks, I have had what I believe were bouts of anxiety. I get sad, have shortness of breath, feel very stressed and it feels like my heart it racing out of my chest. It just hits me all at once and then passes after a half hour or so. Does this sound like anxiety attacks? Have any of you experienced this?
