You may already know this so forgive me if I sound like I'm preaching. I, too, have developed phobias/anxiety/and panic attacks since having this disease, at 60+ years old. I am assured by doctors and mental health professionals that this is absolutely normal for someone with compromised breathing. The good news is that there is relief out there. I don't know your situation but most insurance allow some mental health services. The combo of a good therapist and the proper meds can do wonders for your quality of life. The trick is finding a good therapist.....there are so many out there that shouldn't be. We call them "wounded healers"...they get into the field more to help themselves than to help others. and

actually do damage. I also identify with your feeling of being unable to control this stuff. Very scary, very frustrating.
