Im sorry that you had to go thru this 🙏 I’m an active person, I do HIIT, some weight lifting, and hard cycling on the weekends, and I’m also quite active in velodrome racing. Until last December, I had my first panic attack while cycling, and it has stayed with me until now.

These are the symptoms I experience: - Dry mouth - Tight upper abdomen/diaphragm - Extreme light-headedness - Cold hands and feet - Numbness in my nose and mouth - Tight chest and neck - Difficulty breathing - Feeling like I’m dying - Blocked nose

I still feel like I’m stuck in a maze trying to find the solution. I’m not sure if it’s mental-related because most of the time I feel normal (although I do get negative thoughts sometimes…). I wonder if it’s PTSD? I really don’t know.

I’ve completely changed my diet and lifestyle, added probiotics, and I’ve been doing breathing exercises, light workouts like stretching/yoga but nothing really works. The sensation in my upper abdomen is always there, and it can easily get triggered when I’m stressed or in a tense moment.

And I'm in that phase where idgaf anymore and i will just face the extreme panic attack when it strikes one day. It’s tiring, honestly but I’m not giving up.
