asthma and acid reflux suffocation


Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me. I am a 21 year old girl, and I really need some help.

My body is completely out of whack right now, so much so that I will not be able to sleep tonight because my asthmatic symptoms make it impossible for me to breathe if I am sleeping.

the start of this:
-friday night, the day before my last college finals, i woke up not breathing and unable to move and could not sleep after. I was taking alpha lipoic acid and theanine at that time, in addition to drinking a lot of coffee everyday to get through finals. This first episode made me not take theanine tsaturday night or alpha lipoic acid anymore, which led to my sunday freak out and panic attack.- being afraid i was going insane, racing thoughts and feel trapped and hopeless. I spent more or less a day and a half with y body in total "fight or flight" response and was constantly upset.

I was (am) suffering at that time extreme emotional and mental stress over my future and past etc and I know that stress agravate
s all of my other conditions.

I have found that my anxiety/panic attacks are caused easily by almost any substance (aloe vera juice gave me one) or if i fail to take l-theanine which sends me spinning into Depression and suicidal thoughts.

The acid reflux is inhibiting my breathing at night and makes me afraid to lie on my back. My body is really acidic right now, I feel.

Today I had an asthma like reaction and now cannot get in enough oxygen no matter how big a breathe I take, the difficulty breathing is immense. It was triggered by either pineapple, digestive enzymes, or l-theanine (i think l-theanine effects my asthma negatively but i mentally need it)

It could stem from either my Aspartame usage (1-2 packs of gum a day for a year) or my sporadically recurrent bulimia whichcomes roughly for a week at a time every six months, and i had an episode the same night this began. I think this began the adic problem.

Now, after my panic attack, I am afraid of taking any new medication because it might irritate something else- the cycle- ie afraid to drink peppermint tea which is good for asthma in case in upsets acid reflux or my mental state.

Worst of all is the fear of waking up at night when lying on my back, not being able to move, because i have not been breathing, has led to more anxiety- fear of suffocation

So here is where I stand:

-i seem doomed to have panic attacks without theanine, but it upsets my asthma and acid reflux

-magnesium helps relaxation asthma and acid reflux, at least in the short term.
- I was using ACV all day today but tonight my symptoms are out in full...
-afraid to sleep/lie down for fear of suffocation, sleep apnea like symptom

-anxiety is worse on days i do not exercise a lot

Can anyone advice me what to do, to fix this body imbalance I am experiencing? Thanks again, for any help, because I certainly need it..
