ATTENTION: What's described in this post is a past event with an update here.
Hi, this is will be a long post because I want to talk in detail about what's been going on in my life lately so I can have some sort of emotional release as I've been dealing with a lot of crap.
If you don't want to read it all here you have the shorter version with the most important part:
My mom has been experiencing very high levels of anxiety. Last weekend he had what she felt like a panic attack, went to the hospital and they told her everything was fine. Next day she felt like she was having a heart attack, called the psychiatrist and told her it was anxiety and to just relax.
Things didn't get better and she started having trouble breathing, more calls to doctors, they told her to remain calm and that everything would pass. I started to take care of her continuously and tried to help her with relaxation techniques, made her watch a sitcom she likes to distract her, moved her around when she needed to go to the bathroom and everything else.
Still thinking that it's just anxiety we changed the brand of one of her medications because she said it didn't have side effects in her experience. Things got worse and I started giving her my asthma inhaler so she doesn't suffocate but other symptoms vanished so we continued through the "just relax and it will pass" route.
After 3 sleepless days like this she had to sit in a specific position and don't move or she would suffocate and experience pain, we start thinking about going to the hospital because that wasn't normal. Later she has an attack, I call an ambulance and they take her to emergencies.
My brother and me went later to see her and after some waiting the doctor told us that she was in a critical state and there was a low chance of survival. They connected them to machines and made them sleep. My brother and I were in shock and crushed.
Fortunately, a couple of days later she is progressing well and recovering slowly. She is tough. We don't know yet exactly what is going on but apparently anxiety + pneumonia + heart attack provoked the situation.
So if you could write something possitive I will read it to her, she needs an overflow of happiness because, as I will explain later, things are rough and I don't want her to be stressed and experience s**t like this, hopefully, ever again.
Thanks in advance, if you keep reading you will benefit from our story since it contains a lot of learnings you can use to not make similar mistakes and get trapped in difficult potentially life-threatening situations.
