Something I've had the past few months and my boyfriend had this morning was the NEED to get fresh air. I never use to get this. I get this sweaty feeling even if it's not warm in the room especially.....and this surge of a sick feeling in my tummy and i HAVE to open a window to get fresh air into my lungs...does anyone else find themselves doing this? Even lately when it's not especially warm out I find myself doing this in the car. I'd rather freeze than feel what I feel without it being open lol

When I'm feeling anxious I tend to have the same need. Some of it I think is to help me cool down but sometimes the act of walking outside will help by itself.

You sound claustrophobic. Maybe the need isn't for fresh air as much as the need to get out. I get the same way. I go for a walk every day after work and I feel 100% better after. I work behind a desk all day and the window doesn't open. The need to get outside is only natural, I think.

Back in my home province me and my boyfriend use to go outside and walk places all the time even late at night and the past 2 and a half months we've been visiting with his parents here in the states and there are black bears in the area and less safe feeling to walk around like we do back home and i'm wondering i guess then...could that be causing the problem? not getting out like i use to and i'm feeling the effects?

Oh yes I can relate to that for sure. I posted something similar to this a few weeks ago. I don't like being in a room where there is no air movement. I have to have some air flow if its on the warmer side in a room and the windows and doors are shut. I hate the feeling I get. It's almost like I am suffocating. Once I open a window and can feel some air whether cool or warm I settle down. I notice it a lot more when I am really fighting an anxiety or panic attack but if I am more on the calmer side it doesn't seem to bother me quite as bad. I hate anxiety and I hate being like this. Praying God will bless us all with relief from this and that we will all soon get our lives back to a more normal state.
God bless,
