Hi SSegat,
Welcome to the boards! We have parallel paths with this panic, mine has been 18 yrs now, I get fast heart rate, wildly spiking BP, short of breath, blah, blah. Anyway, we moved 4 months ago, in my husband's home that he inherited with his sister. Thing is, we had been on our own, raising two kids since we were married in 1984. Now I'm sharing a house with his sister, whom never married and has lived here all her life. We moved because our youngest went to college, and it freed up money for him to attend. We have lost our privacy or the comfort we had as a family. This has gotten better, we are finally finding our own space separate from hers, she has helped me in some ways, that has helped in baby steps of my agoraphobia. So some good with the bad. I'm willing to due what I have too for my son's education. I have limited insurance with Medicare which is a joke, example one trip to the ER via ambulance is not covered, the EKG was deemed "preventive" and also not covered, excuse me but just what are the goals of having insurance -waiting for something catastrophic before they pay?
Anyway, in my years, I've learned it's new changes so I can identify what is triggering them to come back. Look at your changes in just the last few months, birth of a baby-a change to your body and your life (mine began one month after the birth of my son) , moving in with your Mom-a change. Lack of sleep will exacaberate your heart rate, and generally make your body tired and more prone to illness-add the bronchitis in there and ....do you see the pattern?
