I've been feeling this really uncomfortable sensation like I might vomit whenever I'm in a cab or on a bus, especially if it's crowded. It's like I can't breathe properly and just feel really suffocated. It's starting to worry me. Could there be something going on that I need to address?
yes it happens that when you are in a place where enough ventilation or air circulation is not there or closed spaces will make you nauseous and choky...best thing is to relax yourself so that you breathe easy in such situations and avoid such places...the oxygen saturation also comes down.

I've been dealing with anxiety for years and I have an attack almost every day. Today my heart rate zoomed up to 102, and it felt like I was almost detached from reality. Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to handle these symptoms better, and when should I consider getting help from a professional?
Experiencing daily anxiety attacks and a heart rate of 102 during such episodes can be distressing. Its essential to address both the psychological and physical aspects of anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is highly effective in treating anxiety disorders, helping you manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of attacks. Additionally, mindfulness, meditation, and breathing exercises can provide immediate relief during an anxiety attack. Consulting with a mental health professional for therapy and possibly a psychiatrist for medication management can offer a comprehensive approach to treating your anxiety. It's important to seek help to improve your quality of life.
