I have what so many have discussed in this forum:

go to- 

This is strictly your esophagus (fibers) when attacked with too much acid reflux sending signals  to your brain that you're not breathing correctly.  

I'd wake up in the middle of the night in a panic, would have to get up and take a ride to calm my brain. Would last a month or two.

I finally went to a doctor- No problems with lungs, heart, oxygen in blood was 100% no answers.

A farmer friend of mine called and told me it was excessive acid reflux and while researching found the above article. Everything in that article fit me to a tee.

Anyway, not much you can do other than keeping you acid reflux at bay and stay away from those foods and drinks which will affect you adversely.

The comforting fact, if any, is that it is really not doing anything horrible to your organs

      Hello Lynn,

      Sorry for delay in response.

      I tried to paste link to article but they took it down.

      Google "false dyspnea" and there will be articles.  The one that hit home was by a Dr. Hanna Laadah.  It starts with true dyspnea but moves into fake or pseudo Dyspnea.  Everything which was stated fit me like a glove.  Excessive acid reflux, causing esophagus problems tricking brain into thinking there is a problem- can't take deep breaths, can't rest- have to be active, etc. Hope the articles help.

      Bentley
