yep! feels like a tingly large belt got forced on you and people are tightening it to make sure you know your body is messed right up.

Hi, thank you everyone, your answers and experiences your shared have been really helpful. I'm getting the feelings a lot but wasn't quite sure if it actually was MS hug.
Thank you for your support xxxx💜

Hi Indigo hope your ok,
Yeah ive had Ms Hug, its horrible, felt like I couldnt get enough breath in & I also had a pannic attack with one of mine, the best thing I found for me was to sit in the bedroom on the edge of the bed, close my eyes and do breathing exercises, I also breathed in and out into a bag cos I felt like I was gonna be sick, it really scared me felt like someone had their arms round me squeezing as tight as poss & I was lightheaded with mine, thankfully fingers crossed ive not had one for afew months & I really feel for people who get this on a regular basis cos its really horrible I noticed when I was getting them I always felt abit stressed beforehand & had to keep taking big breaths in I dunno if anyone else shares same symptoms as we all seem to have our own, xx

@A MyMSTeam Member i have not had the MS hug personally, but I have seen it described as a corset that was too tight. Not that I have ever worn a corset.
