I have been having shortness of breath. I also have fatigue and tiredness. I have been having sleep insomnia for the last few nights because of the shortness of breath. 2 doctors said it might be anxiety and another said its just allergies but no one want to run any tests. And i am not buying what they are saying. I know it isnt what they are saying. Any1 else having the same issue? What could be causing these problems?

      I cannot blow in the Peak Flow hardly at all, but that also could be the Gerd, although they have found that I have Emphysema too.

      I detest being like this too.
