For 8 straight months I would have 3-4 hour bouts of not being able to breath. Every single breath on manual mode. Happened 7 days a week every day. Never knew when it was gonna hit.
I was once doing a presentation on a live workshop my company sold and I couldn’t finish. I couldn’t breathe. Mid presentation my heart rate spikes high af and I have to just sit and catch my breath.
@cbwritescopy had to come on and finish my presentation.
This was a daily occurrence. Normally going about my life. Heart rate spikes. Feels like I’m suffocating. Need to lay down for 3-4 hours in the middle of the day. Completely impossible to do anything or go anywhere.
Another time I was out to dinner with some people and we went on a walk in the town after. I got an episode right there during the walk and just had to sit on a bench for an hour.
Catastrophically inconvenient and terrifying thing to just be happening to a seemingly healthy 28 year old. It was constant. All of the time. I began actively avoiding everything that involved leaving the house because I didn’t want to have an episode and embarrass everybody.
Got a concierge doctor. Saw different specialists. Shit tons of different tests. Went to ER 3 different times because I thought I was gonna suffocate.
“There’s nothing wrong with you”
- Tracked full elimination diet
- Different types of water
- Mold test in the house (had a previous exposure)
- Tried different supplements (magnesium, vitamin d, vitamin c, etc)
Hundreds of hours of research and probably tens of thousands of dollars trying to figure it out.
Finally had
@NoahRyanCo help me out. He told me I was in a constant sympathetic nervous system state. I might not consciously feel stressed, but my nervous system definitely was. My CNS was completely fried.
He told me to take Glycine and L-Theanine. I order it. DAY 1 it solves the issue. Actually immediate relief. For the first time in almost a year I physically felt my lungs opening up. It was just easy to breathe. It felt like I could fly.
I’ve taken it every day since and it hasn’t come back once. I literally carry glycine and l-theanine pills with me everywhere now.
Was such a simple solve it’s honestly incredible
