What could cause breathlessness?

[Zon]

Ive had this twice when rolling, first time was so mild I didnt even think about it but the second time was quite serious and scary... really felt like I was becoming unable to breathe. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I'm not on any medication, dont have any illness but my doctor did once tell me I am slightly anemic as I often get light headed and dizzy when I am seriously anxious about something (like if I was about to bungee jump for example). I do think heat is affecting this breathlessness but even when I relax in a cooler area it doesnt go away and continues to get worse.

Any ideas?? Anything I could do about it??

same thing happens to me, although ever since then it still hasn't stopped so I'm assuming it has nothing to do with the pill.. I went to a doctor and everything appears fine, I just think its just anxiety

Feels like you are not breathing automatically anymore? Like you feel as if wont be able to take your next breathe?

This happened to me before when I got piped.... thought i was gonna die for sure

Make sure what you're taking is MDMA

While rolling I have experienced a sensation similar to what was described here. I didn't feel as though I wasn't able to breathe, I just felt that my breathing was on "manual" and that I had forgotten to breathe at certain points. This didn't worry me much, I dismissed it thinking it was just my altered consciousness and the intense rushes combined playing tricks on me.

Its not that my breathing is not automatic, I am breathing normally but its as if there is not enough oxygen in the air, like it just wasnt getting into my blood somehow... It happened just after the peak btw, about 2 hours after taking the pill. All I could do was stay outside and calmly breathe deeply untill it finally passed.

I think its anxiouty that happens to me sometimes even when I'm not rolling but just thinking bout what happens if I don't get enough air to breath and then I start thinking holy shit its happening now lol. Just try and relax that's all

Sounds like a panic attack to me. Learn to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Helps a ton.

Yeppers....It happened to my husband around when we first got together. Psychedelics did this to him, too, so he basically quit doing all drugs except weed and alc.
Years later, he started having the "breathing thing" just in daily life....Turns out he has anxiety now, went to the doc and they gave him xanax.
He never partied super hard but had his fair share.

That seems to happen when your going through a strong come up, like if you double drop or take a really strong pill. You gotta keep distracted because anxiety will just make it worse, no point in worrying you know what i mean.
