Question Posted Wednesday August 24 2022, 10:12 pm
hi long story short a few days ago my mum woke me up screaming and yelling at me. it was about something small and it wasn't even my fault but I quickly got up and stood there while she yelled at me very loudly. suddenly my chest felt so hollow and I don't mean it in a fancy metaphor way but literally, I felt like someone was squeezing my lungs and I couldn't breathe. I started seeing a few stars and my vision was beginning to turn black and it felt like I had to lie down NOW or I would die. thankfully she was done yelling so I left the room and sat on a sofa outside but still, I was in so much pain and couldn't breathe I had to curl into myself and lean on the couch and slowly I started breathing and my vision came back but my head hurt the whole day. I'm confused about what happened. Can someone please tell me ?

Stress can bring on panic attacks, blood pressure shooting high, so even heart attacks if you didn't know your heart health wasn't all that great. After too much stress every day without any breaks, that can lead to depression.
I can't know what happened because even Drs wouldn't know until they ran tests on blood and urine and completed scans of your body. You don't mention your age so I don't know if you're a minor nor not. So if you drive, get yourself to emergency. If you are a minor or don't drive, find a neighbor at home to take you or call emergency and have a medic take you. Its not wise to take a gamble with your health and do nothing. Normally, a parent takes a child to emergency or a Dr. But If your Mom is going through crisis herself, she may not do that. What she did is not normal. She is losing it due to worries and stress or maybe some mental issues, and don't worry, not all mental issues people go through mean you're crazy or have a mental illness. But if Mom isn't in a place mentally where she can take care of you, the next time, perhaps it could be worse, and once you are dead, there's no coming back from that. You get to emergency, and they will call your Mom to come. That way they get permission to work on you unless it is a life or death situation and they must act at the moment to save your life. This is only the worst scenario, it may just be a panic attack and it would do good for you to learn your triggers and what you can do next time if having a panic attack. Also, mom needs to see a Psychologist. So the first step is seeing her Dr. for a referral. And its best you also get some counseling. I hope things turn around for you.
