Recently, I took Corocidin Cough and Cold, and accidently overdosed on it, which landed me in the ER. Symptoms began arising – such as short of breath, difficulty swallowing, chills, fever, etc. Afterwards, when the symptoms didn’t go away completely, I went to the Doctor and he told me I had a stomach virus, and all I could do was wait it out. So I did. It was the most horrible thing ever. It, honest to god, made me think I was going to die. The shortness of breath was still there, as was the difficulty swallowing. And I just felt weak, and like I could die at any minute. More often than not I woke up with panick attacks. I do have Anxiety and depression, and I know that can affect chemicals in your body alot. Eventually, my stomach virus went away, and for a while – a month or so – I felt okay again. And everything was fine.
Also some other notes – I’ve had an ongoing UTI for about 3 or 4 years now. I’d take pills for it, but it only went away while I was taking the pills. And, my grandma Sandi, who was a nurse, now believes I have Acid Reflux. UTI & Acid Reflux at the same time.. ugh..

Anyways, so the symptoms went away. Just the other day I was smoking quite a bit of cigs since sometimes I can be quite the chainsmoker, and I had a lot of stress. Suddenly it hit me like BAM. All of those symptoms of feeling like I was dying and week came back. Now I can barely even walk down the road without getting worn out, or walk up and down a flight of stairs. I have a hard time swallowing, constantly. I have aches and pains everywhere that keep coming and going. And I’m always rushing to the bathroom, which I know isn’t good, since I’m letting out too many fluids from my body, when there aren’t any I put in there. I am also having trouble sleeping, for fear that I’ll die in my sleep.
I guess you could say I have an irrational fear of dying. Like it could happen at any moment, second, time. And I HATE it.
Anyways… I hope I can get some good answers on this, because It’s really confusing.
