Do Shortness Of Breath And Tightness In Nasal Bridge Indicate Anxiety Attack?

Hello, so i think I just had an anxiety attack, I was watching a Justin Bieber video (I m in love with him!) and all of the sudden, I felt like I just could not breath, I have very bad anxiety and I also have food allergies that require an epi-pen to be with me 24/7, I felt like I just could not breath and I started wheezing and my throat and near my eyes like the bridge of my nose and under my eyes felt tight, I just don t know what to do, I took an Benadryl and I still kind of feel it, I dont know if the product I ate might of contained anything I m allergic to or if I m having another anxiety attack.

Hi.

I cannot believe the effect Justin Bieber can have on people, I am not a Bielieber, hehe.

But either way, an anxiety attack needs to be dealt with in a simple way, relaxation, fresh air to breathe in the open, and any medications your doctor may have provided to be taken SOS during an episode.

An allergy cannot be ruled out, and although benadryl can help at times, it may not be effective enough to treat a moderate or severe reaction, so try the shot, because it seems as though you have been waiting to take it, and haven't already taken it. There is no harm in taking it, so please do go ahead.

And for future reference, Bieber may not really good for your health. Haha. Have fun kiddo. :)

Best wishes.
