so.. i suffer with major general anxiety disorder aswell as health anxiety. basically... i experience a lot of shortness of breath aswell as wheezing.. i get this wheezing almost every day. i am almost 100% positive i do not have asthma. but am wondering if anxiety is known to cause wheezing and shortness of breath with very little activity. for instance ; bending down and standing up causes me to be very short of breath. to the point where i am exhaling and inhaling pretty hard
are you over weight? It happens to me all the time but I am over weight also. Do you have a oxagin reader?? that helps me alot to ease the fear.
hi Stephanie…I’m not sure about the wheezing, but I DO know shortness of breath is Very common!
it’s one of the 1st examples people give to their doctors when trying to get a diagnosis. “it’s so hard to catch a breath” they say!
Me too! of course, I also have a lung issue (a whole other story) so I’ve REALLY got a double whammy!!
it SUCKS! i get out of breath just walking from my room to the kitchen. Ughhh!
i have a pulse ox reader which tells me my oxygen levels are 97 each day. this i think is reassurance do you think? Heart rate is always about 80
