Anxiety or Shortness of Breath only 6 wks in....??

JOACOA

So, I at first was worried about no symptoms - I now have morning sickness... about 18hrs/day. Aversion to almost everything other than crackers, peppermints and lemon water. 

Thing is, I have been having what feels like anxiety when I am going to sleep or waking up which doesn't stem from thoughts....

I don't seem to be worrying about the pregnancy, or work, family etc etc.  It just sort of happens. Throughout the day as well here and there.

When it happens I feel as though I'm unable to get enough air, Heart sped up.

Does anyone know what this might be? Is it my body adjusting to hormones?

I get anxiety attacks and that's what it sounds like to me, but I'm not a Dr.  If it is anxiety try to focus on your breathing, take deep breaths in/out your nose, think about anything that is a comfort to you.  If this doesn't help or you keep getting them I would talk to your Dr.

Also having morning sickness all day long isn't helping your overall health which can add to other problems like anxiety. I've heard of women going through almost anything in the book because their hormones haven't balanced out but like PP said if you can't control it talk to your doc.

I would call your doctor and talk to them.  It is possible that what you are thinking is anxiety could possibly be your blood pressure going up.  When I was pregnant with my DS, I felt like my heart was pumping out of my chest sometimes.  When I went to the doctor, I discovered that I had high blood pressure due to pregnancy.
