fear of drowning

Please don't lose hope, and don't hurt yourself. That horrible, deep, dark hole is the worst thing in the world. There are meds that can be taken during pregnancy; please work with your doctor. Please DO get help if it gets too bad...it's alway available, not something to fear or be ashamed of...short term hospitalization could help get a treatment plan for your pregnancy in place while you stay safe. Take care. Let us know how you're doing. I care.

One of my 3rd grade students drowned In a stream behind his home. One of the saddest funerals. EMTs and cops even attended. Sometimes I feel guilty for being super overprotective of my daughter. But situation like this is why. Kids are very fragile n precious.

I've had this problem for a little while now, but it's been getting worse. During the night, I sometimes wake up with the sensation of have a fleck of spit caught in the back of my throat. Like I've accidentally inhaled a bit of saliva. I've tried looking up people having similar problems, and a lot of people mention mucus or phlegm or catarrh, but I distinctly mean spit. It's like when you accidentally inhale a bit of water.

Also on top of this nowadays i have a fear of sleeping as i have started to get dreams of drowning where i wake up feeling short of breath , In the shower i also feel like im drowing. I have done tests and they seem to be fine i was pregnant til 2 weeks ago and i suffered a missed miscarrige i will be having a chest x ray to check for fluid on the lungs as i wasnt able to do this in my pregnancy . I cant help but feel the heart and the miscarige are related but thet think its fine.

Also i never had asthma or anything of that nature, i am a smoker but not a heavy smoker in any sense of the word, i have been told by my phtsician i do have fluid in my lungs but he said its nothing out of the ordinary (then he retired a week later) but maybe the liquid he said in my lungs contributes to some sort of water pressure around the body drowning type reaction? I dont know, i know its not dry drowning!! Who gets that?

I would look for a counselor that really knows about PTSD. Most of them do. Of course a counselor can not prescribe meds. That would be a Psychiatrist or your family Dr.

I just want to share my experience a lil,,I quit the pills so many times,,but the main thing that I addressed this time is why was I taking them,,a lot of people end up hooked because of chronic pain issues or injuries and then some of us because we just love how they make you feel-as in my case. I have underlying depression and it increased as well which each pill I took as the opiates mess up your chemicals in the brain.

I'm going to be 8 months pregnant in just a few days, yet one week ago I started waking up at night (which I've done consistently throughout my pregnancy), but unlike before to go to the bathroom or grab a bite to eat I'm waking up upset, scared, disoriented, and all together feeling horrible. I do not think I'm having any nightmares nor is it one thing I'm all these feelings about.

Anxiety. THAT'S what "wrong" with your brain. We all swallow stuff down the wrong pipe and it does hurt like hell, but how many of us drown from it? My guess is about zero. Google this episode of the young boy "dry drowning" and I promise you your fear will be gone! Enjoy that iced tea!

Hi everyone. We just found out last night that that I'm pregnant and right away fear took over my body. I give birth to my son at 33 weeks via emergency c-section because I had pre - eclampsia. The baby had breathing problems so he was taken to the nursery. He died after 8 days. Never got the chance to take him home. I'm so scared. Will it be like the first pregnancy? How do i keep my blood pressure down? How do i stay calm? I'm drowning in fears.

What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.

If she is under age, I think the therapist probably would keep the parents informed of what was going on so that they can be a part of helping their daughter. Talk to your own mother, she may be able to talk to your friend's mother?

I strongly suggest that you seek medical attention from a doctor who takes your report seriously and pays special attention to trying to find the cause(s) of the facial swelling and your feeling of “drowning.” Do not delay seeking care from a doctor who will listen carefully to your story and then arrange for whatever testing (to include a Chest X-ray) is need to get to the bottom of this matter.

I think it just hit me like a hammer to the head. I'm so afraid of everything, and I mean everything. I have been thinking of trying to find a psychiatrist who can help me, but then I started thinking of one who could specialize in my fears. I've been to many in the past, but we would focus on the present fear I had at that time, or relaxation techniques. Helps, but doesn't help completely and after my pocketbook is drained I have to stop.

Temp went down but then got a feeling of liquid in chest. When I would breathe I could hear rumbling of liquid. Went to doc and she said I had a snius infection and post nasal drip. A day later I am still not better and now gagging foamy white plem. Almost like throwing up from my throat and still having the rumbling filling. Also having diarrhea 3 times today. I took mucinix but didn't help and did saline spray. Should I be worried.

I take a number of nebulised solutions each day including Tobramycin, Ventolin and NebuSal nebules. I read that even small amounts of liquid in the lungs can cause Secondary drowning that is apart from all the sodium I am ingesting. Does anyone know how much fluid you can safely take into your lungs and conversely what amounts might be dangerous.

Yeah I've had them all throughout - awful ones usually reflections of my fear of being a bad mom. Like the baby drowning, not being able to breastfeed and the baby starving, and finding a little tiny palm-sized baby and running around frantically trying to find some way to keep it alive, hubby having a baby with someone else.

so i'm in the worst phases of my depression lately and my eating habits have flown out the window. i don't want to eat or talk to my family i just want to sleep and start the next day. i start crying randomly for no reason all the time and hurl my body into walls and things. i feel empty like ii shouldn't be here and just want to give up. i just want someone to push me over the edge, i deserve it.

There is no way you are going to get pregnant using a restroom. How old are you and how long has this fear of pregnancy been going on? Do you see a psychologist?

This is a story of a boy who died of dry drowning it is heartbreaking .However its something parents should be aware of . Boy’s death highlights a hidden danger: Dry drowning 10-year-old died more than an hour after getting out of swimming pool Video Boy dies 1 hour after swimming June 5: Ten-year-old Johnny Jackson drowned about an hour after swimming in a pool. NBC’s Savannah Guthrie reports on the dangers of dry drowning, and TODAY's Meredith Vieira talks to pediatrician Dr.

I fractured a rib from coughing so much a year ago which still hurts. I'm extremely exhausted and feel like I'm forcing myself to breath since my body doesn't want to and my tongue feels like a bite it but I don't and it swells at sometimes at night and I'm constantly coughing and I feel like I'm drowning in mucus or phlegm. Every other week I become so sick for a day or 2 then it goes away. I'm just tired of feeling like this me having no answers.

well, for one, I don't think anyone will tell you to disregard chest pains for fear of the obvious. I will say that I did, but it was because of actual anxiety. If you have any thought that you are having actual chest pain or heart issue, go to the emergency room. Have you been able to see comments on your other posts? How are you doing with navigating this site?

Does anyone else ever wake up in the middle of the night or right after you dose off and wake gasping for air and body shaking and it takes hours to start breathing normal again?? I have that a lot. It feels like my lungs aren't working right and i can't get a good breath and my heart will be beating irregular. Does anyone with sleep apnea get shortness of breath during the day also?
