Hi im a 31 year old male and since i was probably 20 years old the doctors have told me i have 'anxiety' and that was caused from my nan passing away.

Anyway over the past 11 years medication wise i have taken fluoxetine, sertraline, propanol, and one other i cant remember and nothing has helped.

Heres to my problem all these years i do not think i have anxiety and dont feel anxious at all.

What i feel is breathless 24/7 i have to sigh/forced yawn to try and get a breath in and this is every breath every day for 11 years. i cant help but think its something serious. i have had many ECG tests lung capacity tests and heart monitoring be it years ago and all fine. i beg there is a way to be my old self who could exercise and run for miles to now gasping and yawning even whilst eating my dinner. my body feels so run down and weak especially legs and constantly get muscle spasms all over.

i keep going back to doctors. but i feel as tho because i have been so many times about it they just pie me off with the yer its anxiety just to get me out again.

sorry for such a long message but please get in contact if anyone else has this. i just want to breath normal 😦

    You may be anemic and since it's not common in men your age they may never have tested you. Anemia can cause hypoxia which generally means low oxygen or shortness of breath. It can also cause exhaustion, hair loss and a host of other problems. It is easily remedied by taking iron tablets. But don't just take them on your own. Check with your doctor first.
