I've been having a symptom which I think is stress/anxiety related.  It's a feeling that I can't get enough breath in, and that I'm always needing to take deep breaths, along with a ache in my upper back muscles.  Can anyone relate?

    Not that severe but anxiety just the same.Maybe you could ask your doctor for meds to help you calm down a bit. Lots of women have taken them. It’s a stressful time and perfectly understandable if you take something. No one unless they have gone through it can possibly understand the fear factor with this DX.

    You will get through this. We are here to help and are proof it can be done. Keep us posted.
