About 3 years ago i experienced my first full blown anxiety attack. I usually struggle with allergies and stuffy noses are very common. I went to get a massage with my girlfriend and I forgot my nasal spray and had a stuffy nose. So when I was told to lay down face down on the massage table with the hole to put your face thru, panic immediately began to ensue as I couldn’t breathe thru my nose. I was in the room alone, but I just couldn’t get comfortable, my thoughts were consumed with breathing….ever since that day I have struggled getting massages as anxiety attacks are 80% likely. I have even got up and left during and before the massages started due to such extreme fear of not breathing. Has this happen to anybody else ??  I can’t find anything on the internet about breathing issues causing anxiety.
