I think I might need to go to the doctor. I've been having extreme shortness of breath all morning and feel like I'm about to pass out. I can't keep my breath. This is really scary.

I started getting that last year. It turns out it was a panic attack, even though I didn't feel panicked at all at the time. Well, until I started going "OMG CAN'T BREATHE" and that kind of upset me. :-)

Still, it's something you should get checked, because it might be something else. One piece of advice I got -- carry around baby asprin in a pill box or something (you can get them that go on your key chain). If you start having shortness of breath, take them. If you're having a heart attack, it could stop it. If you're not, it will probably calm you down anyway from the placebo effect. :-)

One might ask why you aren't at the doctor's already??? One might also ask if you're having a nervous breakdown? But then again, one might also ask what the price of tea in China is - and I think we can all agree that's irrelevant.

Is asthma a possibility? See if inhaling something with eucalyptus in it will help open up air passages.
