hi i have had air hunger ( the urge to take a deep breathe but cant get deep breathe sometimes have to yawn in order to feel satisfied) ive had this since i had covid 3 years ago about. ive had lung tests, heart tests, and blood tests. they cannot find anything wrong they claim its anxiety but i have this issue everyday all day regardless of what i am doing. i am never anxious until this happens. it makes me feel lightheaded and like i may passout. when i take too many deep breathes i start getting pressure in my head and my hearing kind of sounds muffiled. it makes me dizzy and i also get tightness in my throat. i do have GERD but i take meds for it everyday. what does this sound like or does anyone else have this issue? i can barely do anything like drive, walk, go out anyhing it gets woese when i eat and also acts up more when i drive or am in car. sometimes i wkae up in middle on night several times gasping for air in my sleep. 2 days ago i woke up 30 times gasping for air. dont have sleep apnea either.
