Samy, thank you for sharing such a personal and intense experience. Anxiety can feel suffocating, especially when it manifests physically and spirals into further worry. It's a powerful reminder of how interconnected our minds and bodies are, and how easily anxiety can amplify symptoms we're already concerned about.

What helped you find some peace or clarity after the panic subsided? It seems like the medical consultation helped, but do you have other strategies you lean on when anxiety starts creeping in again?
