Shortness of breath and fainting
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello guys, its my second time here. But I just recently experience something really weird. I been having shortness of breath the whole day today..I mean every single day. I went to the ER yesterday again and they did chest xray and ECG but everything normal . If you see my first post, then this is like maybe the 20 times i went to the ER for two months lol . trust me, there so tired of seeing me lol anyways so they said its probably acid reflux cause now my throat a problem when I breath too it become very dry and sometimes I felt like its gonna close on me or something. So they told me its probably acid reflux beside telling me its anxiety this time. Ok, so the weird thing was I was standing up and suddenly I felt like I was gonna faint so I went to lay down and as soon as I lay down my whole upper body went numb and I got super weak. It is anxiety that cause this?,. Also I haven't been eating much or eat at all ..I just don't have the urge to eat or felt hungry at all and lost a lot of weight. I'm going to a walk in clinic tomorrow.. Should I get a flu shot...cause now I have all kind of sickness with my anxiety...

Anxiety can cause your immune system to be weaker., so you can be more susceptible to illness.
Anxiety can cause numbness and weakness. , lightheadedness and many other symptoms.
Have you considered speaking to a counselor about your anxiety? Your tests are normal. You need help managing your anxiety, then your symptoms will decrease or go away. Anxiety is hard to overcome on your own.
The decision whether or not to get a flu shot is between you and your doctor.
Feel better 🌸🌸🌸😁

Thanks Jan. That just scare me cause i never had it happened before lol My doctor schedule me to see a counsler on the 28 of this month so well see how that goes. Anxiety is very hard to overcome..there days were I'm stronger then others...I wanna get a flu shot but I'm just scare of the fact that sometimes you get a flu after a flu shot lol and I'm already sick enough so I'm just having second thought about it lol my doctor offer it my visit last week but I didn't take it and now regret it cause I have dry throat and dry cough as well lol...nothing is right at the moment but I hoping this will be gone soon...

I am short of breath everyday edhe minute!! Sometimes worse than others. It's like this urge in my chest to take a deep breath every minute and sometimes not being able to and having to yawn! Sometimes I'm busy and I forget about it but it's always there and I have to stop what I'm doing to take that much needed deep breath! I get very dizzy and I feel like I can't see good even with my glasses on! I thought I had acid reflux but apparently those two aren't related to each other is what my GI doctor would tell me. And when I did the endoscopy there was no acid reflux so I have come to terms that it's just generalized anxiety

With u. It's so horrible. If i start the day with it. It's there all day. Sometimes i wake up and think "not too bad" but as the day goes on it hits. It's the most horrendous feeling suffocating. I try to rationalise it. Ecg, chest stays etc but it's still there. It's the pits

Omg yes this is so me! When I wake up and am able to take a deep breath I'm thinking maybe this is the day I get to breathe normal but when I go about my morning the chest pressure and shortness of breath start and sometimes I find myself not breathing because I feel like it's better than trying to take a deep breath and not being able to.

You're so right! I can handle pain but when it comes to my shortness of breath it's unbearable! I don't feel like I'm dying because I'm passed those thoughts but it's so uncomfortable. I can't go on with my day trying to catch my breath!

Absolutely some nights I'm in bed thinking how at I going to fall asleep with these problems! Some nights I feel relaxed when I lay on my 3 pillows minus the shortness of breath which is always here! And I'm not even exaggerating! I have woken up to catch my breath and felt like my throat was closing up. Nights are worse for me! The only times I went to the ER was in the night time because it was unbearable! Now I've learned to talk to myself while an attack and with my breathing I just take a lot of little nose breaths and then one deep one even if it kills me inside to take a deep breath every minute. I hope we don't have to learn to live like this😩 I'm giving the magnesium supplements a try for a month to see if i feel calmer I will definitely keep you updated! I'd rather live like this and try natural products until I find one that works for me than take anti anxiety meds which I am NOT against because sertraline gave my mom her normal life back after 4 years of anxiety. I'm just a chicken when it comes to side effects and the thought of feeling worse than I already do before getting better,.
