so for the last year ive had severe shortness of breath so severe im unable to function in life.. i have to gasp for a deep satisfying breath once every 30-60 with no breaks at all throughout the day i can't work exercise walk around stores barely can take care of myself.. ive been to a pulmonologist 3 times ive had 3 spirometry test in 2018 and 1 pulmonary function test, ive been to the emergency room 10-15 times due to it because i feel like im dying ive had 3 ct scans of the chest and about 10+ chest xrays, ive had 10+ ekg, 10+ blood test, ive had advanced blood testing, urinalysis, ive been to a ent and had a mild endoscopy down the nose to view the throat all these test have came back negative the doctors cannot find out what is wrong with me they are finding nothing.. throughout the last ten years of my life ive had severe constipation and bloating it gets so bad i lose my appetite and sometimes itll go away a few days and ill use the bathroom multiple times a day also every time i eat the shortness of breath gets worse so needless to say im afraid something is badly wrong... but anyways i recently seen a gastroenterologist regarding the stomach issues and he scheduled a colonoscopy and a endoscopy but i am absolutely terrified of being put to sleep while ive got this severe shortness of breath what do yall think?
