Anxiety Attack and Hyperventilation Syndrome
Last night, I was watching Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2, and this one guy scholar, Chivas, was brought to the hospital — emergency, at that — apparently, for what the doctor called the Hyperventilation Syndrome.
See, that’s almost exactly what I had about three years ago… during the bagyong Milenyo. I was rushed to the emergency cause I wasnt able to breathe — as in just like what Chivas was last night. Although I think am worse than him then cause I was already moving like an epileptic (well, that’s when we got to the hospital). I was confined but the doctors found nothing wrong with my system — they ruled it was stress-related anxiety attack.
It was years back so now, am a bit better… am off the medications although i still bring the drugs all the time, just in case. There are times that I feel am hyperventilating, but as my psychologist advised then, it’s just mind over matter. I should control stress, and not me controlled by it. Things are a bit different for me now, i havent been going out alone since the time i had an attack at a party with Red, Ayin, Mamita, and Earl… good thing they knew what to do.. but im just trying to be safe. after all, this is me, and not the other people who would think am too dependent on someone else right now. Just trying to protect myself for all i care.
Anyway, I hope Chivas is okay… I know how he’s feeling.. i heard it’s not his first attack, so i know he can get over this one, too… Again, mind over matter.
Breathe.. chillax.
