My brother (20) is suffering from what we and the doctor believe are anxiety attacks it started about 2 months ago. He gets these episodes where he gets the shakes and feels like he can’t breathe and it scares him a lot to where he feels like he needs to go to the hospital. He hasn’t ever really had any health problems in life other than being a premature baby. Sunlight and exercise could be increased for sure but no major concerns. I will say he was a frequent marijuana smoker for about a year straight and now has stopped cold turkey because of how scary these attacks are. He’s not on non addictive anxiety meds but they don’t seem to be working out the problem. I don’t want this to drive him into a depression he has so much life to live. Has anyone experienced anything similar before?
