My chest feels weirdly tight and I feel like I’m having trouble getting enough air. I’m not sure if this is a delayed reaction to the flu shot (they told me to stick around for 10 minutes to see if I developed that side effect, and I didn’t in the first hour or so) or some sort of low-level panic attack, only partly related to the midterm elections. I’ve been taking a fair amount of Gabapentin but I still feel weird. I even checked my blood pressure while I was killing time at the pharmacy (because I’ve been feeling lightheaded and faint when I stand up after lying down for a while), and that was fine but my resting heart rate was ridiculously high.
