For the past I guess year or more I've been dealing with constant shortness of breath. Not sure what causes it. I go to the docs and they say nothing is wrong with me and that it's anxiety or something. I got an inhaler from one but it does nothing to stop it. I get really dizzy and lightheaded at times and it's torture to be constantly out of breath a lot. Sometimes it gets better but sometimes it gets worse. It's daily and starts from when I wake up and sometimes throughout the day it seems to get better perhaps because I am distracted.
It makes me feel suicidal because I am having trouble dealing with this on a daily basis. It comes and goes and I don't know what to do about it. Docs don't seem to know either. It's incredibly hard to deal with at times and I have trouble talking at times because I am so labored with my breathing. I am 23 years old but sometimes I just want to die while I am in the midst of a breathing fit. |

Have you seen a pulmonologist for testing?
If not, you, you may want to request a referral. WC |

I got an xray done, EKG, and blood work. All came back normal, blood pressure was 120/80. The doctor didn't know what it was and was pushing me that if it continues that I should go to the ER. I don't have insurance though so. What am I to do?

Update: I went and saw a pulmonologist. Right now she is saying I have sleep apnea so she wants me to go in for sleep study so. Will see how that goes in a bit. Not quite sure yet about details or when exactly that would happen. Not sure if that is even going to be the cure.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
