Hi, I also have tremors with my fibro, over the Xmas holidays while watching telly I had a tremor in my head, straight after it I found it really hard to breath and my tummy was going in and out, but I wasn't doing it. It lasted quite a while and was quite sore and I just wanted to curl up in a ball. I went to my Doctors today today for a check up when I explained to him what happened over the holidays he said it sounded like a panic attack, I'm not convinced as I was just sitting on the couch… read more

@A MyFibroTeam Member As a few have said it does sound to me like a panic attack as they can strike you any time any where. When i had my first one i was at work talking to someone when they asked if i was ok as i suddenly stopped talking and went "funny" in their words. I felt sick and couldn't breathe at all and had to sit down for a while so even though you were not doing anything it can strike you then. Something else this wretched bloody illness gives us, the gift that keeps on giving. I hope this helps x
Hi #Debbie
I suffer from IBS, sometimes when I have trapped wind I can see it moving in my tummy area(just the exact same as a baby moving in a pregnant lady's tummy), I also get real bad pain in my tummy, abdomin and sides. When I breathe in it hurts even more, which makes it real hard to breathe and I feel like I'm gonna die or something is gonna burst out of my tummy. This can trigger a panic attack. If you don't normally suffer panic attacks, I would go with the trapped wind theory.
But I do think that it should be investigated into a lot more. If it is IBS then it could just be somethings that you have eaten. I know a few things to avoid eating, but sometimes I just want to have the food and I either suffer for a few days afterwards or I drink peppermint tea and take peppermint oil capsules.
Apollogies for the length of this. But I hope it helps some xxx
