Do you notice it when distracted? If not, its most likely anxiety, considering its been 5 weeks.

Everything important can be heard with a stethoscope. Anxiety can make you feel all sorts of crazy things and it has this special gift of making all our symptoms feel so real and so alive. It's a horrible cycle.

Yes, absolutely. First of all you would feel like your drowning. Second, breathing would be very labored. Trust me you wouldn't be writing about it, if it was the case, you'd be too ill.

Yes, I have had chronic anxiety for decades. Anxiety is usually not something you get and then recover from in a week or two. If you do, it is probably not anxiety then unless you have situational anxiety and the situational improves.

@ age 22, I tend to agree then with what your doctor concluded after he examined you. IOW, this is probably anxiety rather than some physical organic problem. Here is something you might consider trying. Benzodiazepines are safe meds if you only take them for a very short period of time. I do not recommend them however for long-term management bc they are addictive as hell when used for long periods of time, chronically. If you have never taken them, take just .5 mgs of xanax once and see if all or most of your bothersome SX's abate. If they do, that will probably confirm your doctor's DX.

coolbreeze, did Lee tell you he ran 3 miles the other day? just thought you should know, so you dont get overly concerned.

Thanks David for the information. Is Lee a runner? At age 23, this most likely is anxiety. My GAD and PD started at age 23. I am in my mid 50's now!
