A 22 years old student who has never smoke. So I have been 4 times in a situation where my throat start itching suddenly little by little follow by cough I can't control to end up with shortness of breath and is until I get fresh air that I start to breath normally little by little.

2 times happened at my house

1 at the train

1 at the park

What could be? I went to my doctor but he didn't found anything and blame it on acid reflux but I didn't felt any acid of alike gerd symptoms before it started?

    This morning i woke up with a similar problem. i didnt notice anything at first but when i got out of bed and stood up i got very light headed and felt like i was going to pass out. This happens to me occasionally where if i stand to quickly, i come close to passing out but it is not very often.

    So i got dressed and sat down at my computer and started getting a tight feeling in my chest. the best way i can describe it is that feeling you get when you need to or are about to yawn or take a full deep breath. So i tried to take a deep breath and i couldnt. my lungs stopped taking in air just before it would be a full breath. the feeling was for the most part constant all day. and i had to be very careful standing up as i would very easily get light headed and fuzzy. I was able to find some relief by conciously focusing on slowly breathing in as much as i can through my NOSE and hold it for a few seconds and then slowly exale through my mouth ALL THE WAY and hold that for a second or 2. It seemed to help but as soon as i stopped concentrating on that that "need to yawn" feeling would come back.

    So now its the end of the day and i had short lived relief throughout the day. It seems to have subsided A LITTLE but it is definately concering when you constantly feel out of breath and unable to satisfy that need. I took a cool/warm shower and while in the shower i was completely fine, no issues. once i got out, within 10 minutes im back to constantly gasping for air. and another thing i experience throughout the day was a strange sensation on my forehead and going all the way around my head, it felt like i was wearing a headband.

    I dont know what to do or think at this point. i am going to try meditation when i head to bed. Hoping it is gone tomorrow. GOOD LUCK! this day has been aggravating as hell.mad
