Hey all, was just wondering if anyone could give me some help.. i am 22 male. I have been suffering from breathing difficulties like shortness of breath and not being able to get a full breath and just feeling like i cant breath properly, aswell as chest discomfort and pains and many other symptoms for over a year. I have had numerous testing done like bloods and xrays, ecg, stress test, ct scans and lung function tests but they all return normal.. any ideas? Thanks everyone any help would be great!

    I had similar issues, albeit not all but I was feeling chest discomfort and the feeling of not getting a full breath.

    After an xray and blood tests, my doctor put it down to anxiety and a change of season.

    I was prescribed urbanol and an inhaler, and I must say things have improved.

    All the best.
