I have numerous symptoms and have been on and off for almost 3 years now. Does anybody suffer with breathing when they very first wake up ? Its like my ribs / lungs have stiffened overnight and i need to take tiny little breaths and ease them open again ? Its quite paingul and makes it really hard to breathe but only lasts a few minutes . Its not “the hug” as i do believe ive experienced that before and its different .
Symptoms can change over time and everyone experiences them differently. It’s likely that this is the hug but it’s presenting in a different way to what you have experienced before.
