I will attach a photo of how I describe this I feel too anxious and tired to re write it, I hope that's OK. I wrote this in my journal a couple of weeks ago.
Ive been in a bad anxiety and depression breakdown all year so far and with it bad panic attacks which led to my cfs returning badly. I became bedroom ridden and all I've done really these last few months are trips to the loo every hour, a little 2 minute walk about. My gp says I've become very unfit and deconditioned hence the out of puff feeling on walking. She says its not the same as the shallow breathless feeling I get at rest as thats not constant and comes on if stressed, anxious etc.. Even negative thoughts trigger it so she says it's panic and anxiety related. Now typing this brings it on so I guess her theory is correct haha.
I just worry it's not normal on exertion of so little, just a trip to the loo hourly I feel out of puff for a few minutes after sitting, worse after a shower or number 2 toilet trip. Is this normal? She says that's just deconditioned/ unfit and cfs related and normal. It's making my anxiety go wild worrying its something sinister and not normal for cfs at all. I've been in a bad place with fatigue the last few months so been resting alot and now I worry I've done some damage from so much rest.
My oxygen levels are ok at 96-97% and bp normal so gp was happy with that and says its just from so much rest and bad anxiety.
Thank you
Jem
