Four year anxiety attack? I hope thats not the case T__T That or I'm anxious all the time and don't realize it.

I'm not a doctor don't listen to me.

It's ok. The doctors I've seen haven't helped much. I'm open to opinions

It could be pretty serious. Find another doctor. Off the top of my head it could be a weird fibrillation in your heart caused by a chemical imbalance, Unless it is happening at the moment all an eco cardiogram will notice is that you have a normal heart and valves. It could be a micro embolism in your lungs that manages to dissipate itself. Go get yourself checked out.


Worse comes to worse both the micro embolism or the fibrillation could lead to a larger embolism. Thats like the number 2 cause of sudden death for people under 30.
David Bloom the NBC reporter died of this. Not to scare the snot out of you but I would get an opinion with a second cardiologist.

Jeebus. Anything else I should know?

Ask the doctor to put your fears to rest and get a ultra sound of your soft tissue in your neck and lungs areas.

It's mental. If it was a physical problem you would've died in your sleep long ago. Part of your brain that registers breathing isn't firing correctly would be my guess. I'm no doctor, but exercise does lessen the body's need to breath (your heart beats slower, and your other muscles are more capable, thus requiring less air and energy) so it should help.

That's what I was thinking too at one point. But I would really like a solution. This feeling sucks =/ Btw, is micro embolism the same as pulminary embolism?

I am very happy you are not a doctor. These three lines contained so many errors I do not even know where to begin.


To the OP. Your symptoms sound like asthma. Try and blow up a baloon. If it is very difficult, get tested for asthma.
You might be allergic to something. I suffer from hay fever, and I can suffer from symptons akin to yours during periods with a lot of pollen in the air.

I am not a doctor, but my votes are 1) anxiety 2) asthma.

I have had a similar problem for the last 6 months. My problem is also accompanied usually by rapid heartbeats. When I take Xanax it is usually improved, so that makes me think it is anxiety for me. Ask a doctor for some Xanax and take it and see if it helps. Be careful though, Xanax is REALLY addictive, so don't take it for more than a couple days ideally.

PS, what percent of the day/week do you feel like this?

I never feel 100%. I always have that "feeling", if that means anything. I will say that it's easier to breath some days than others.

Maybe you have weak lungs?

I am sorry dude... if it makes you feel better, I feel this way some times during the day also. What do you think about my idea of Xanax and maybe some therapy too?

Oh also ---- Have you read about hyperventilation? Sometimes if you breath too deep/fast you actually feel like you have LESS oxygen.

You can try breathing into a paper bag or slowing your breathing down and taking smaller breaths. I know it will scare you, but it might actually make you feel better!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperventilation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperventilation_syndrome

The hyperventilation is self-promulgating as carbon dioxide (CO2) levels fall and respiratory alkalosis (high blood pH) develop. The respiratory alkalosis leads to changes in the way the nervous system fires and leads to the paresthesia, dizziness, and perceptual changes that often accompany this condition.

Id like to think that.. but that means it's not going to go away. And the only reason it's been in my head is because I feel the lack of oxygen.

Maybe the first line was an assumption, but please tell me how the others are wrong? The second line is a questionable inference, the third is a fact that I've learned first-hand.

 

[kevman]

Perhaps you are getting the symptoms of an anxiety attack, but not feeling any anxiety? as if your mind is send your body signals of anxiety, but you don't have any awareness of it?

Makes sense to me Don't worry about it~

Read my post near the bottom of the first page (for me at least).. what do you think about it?

 

[sandorski]

Another suggestion for Beer. Not necessarily beer, but something to relax you. I know you don't drink, but get over it and try it. If it's Anxiety(I noticed something similar this past Xmas flying to Florida on he first take off, but was fine for the other 3) drinking some alcohol will likely cause it to go away. Possibly once you realize that it is indeed in your head, you could probably not drink and get past the anxiety. You might want to go on light Anti-Depressants and see if that fixes the issue, if you can't just get past the attacks on your own.

I just play a Dr on ATOT though, so you got what you payed for!

[BudAshes]

[TheGizmo]

athsma, apnea, anxiety............ cure? i'd try albuterol 200 mcg inhaler 2 puffs as needed, if not then next i'd try valium. but im not certified to tell you anything truthful. only bullshit like everyone else.

My doctor laughed when I suggested it. But I really don't know for sure. I don't think they do either =/

 

[compnovice]

It does not sound life-threatening, so may be you can go for alternative cures...

Breathing exercises of Yoga helped my mom a lot with her polyps problem (when everything else failed).. Maybe they have some exercises for your problem...
