Hi everyone I'm a 26 year old male suffering day to day with the scariest symptoms imagineable feels definitely like I am dying and I am suffocating every minute of ever hour of every day I feel like I've got to gasp or yawn for a deep breath or I am gonna suffocate and if I don't get the deep breath I panic and it feels like I'm gonna die surely.. I've had maybe 10-15 ER visits since this has happened every time I go to the ER I get EKGs, X-rays,blood test,and urine test I've also had a CT scan at the ER and a d dimer test. I've also been to a pulmonary specialist I've had a pulmonary function test and a spirometry test I've also been to a ENT and had a scope down my nose and throat. And they say it is anxiety related and I am really am at my wit's end I literally don't wanna wake up and I'm ready for this disease to kill me so I don't have to suffer any longer anyone who isn't going thru this has no idea IT IS CONSTANT A SHORTNESS OF BREATH NEED FOR DEEP BREATH FOR 7 MONTHS my life has turned upside down I can't work exercise go out go shopping I can't do anything and I'm just ready to die if I can't get rid of this....
i have had the same thing on and off since i was 19. im 34 now and im still here. i find i can breathe better on cold days as the air is fresh, but summer weather mixed with allergies and humidity really bring on the breathing difficulties. like you i had all the tests which came back normal. i know its part of my anxiety and i have learned to control it the best i can with medication and breathing techniques.
Mine not on and off it's constant for 7 Months straight
thats how mine started it was just constant and never ending. it just felt like an endless battle to try and breathe the fresh air.
It's scary man very scary
what medicine you took for this as I also have short breath for 2 months and done all test which were negative and doctor asked me why I stooped my AD MEDICINE without tapering and asked to start medicine which I don't want due to side effects .
I don't understand why they wanna give u mental medication and why they don't give u inflammation meds or muscle relaxers they put me on trintellix I've been on it for 9 days
they tried me on musscle relaxers but it didnt work . my anxiety levels and health anxiety get that high that i tense to much at times.
hey man, i hope u are doing alright now.
i have been battling with the exact same problems as you described and i am thinking about suicide because of this. For the past 4 months i have the constant feeling that i am going to suffocating every minute of ever hour of every day I feel like and that i got to gasp or yawn for a deep breath . Life for me is not enjoyable anymore, i cant do nothing anymore because i am going crazy now because this wont go away !.

You have been through alot of diagnosis. The best thing you can do is practising to control your breathing, try relaxation methods. It seems what your suffering is a symptom of anxiety. Oppress and confront your triggers. Think about what is on your mind when having the breathing issues and confront that.
