Breathing difficulty all day

Mental health
1

Hi I am 21 years old I do not have any diseases and I am a bodybuilder. I thought that I have anxiety and stress that causing my difficulty breathing all the day but I think it is not from anxiety. My heart beat fast and uncomfortable and I breathe like half breathe. I feel really anxious and stressed because of that. I did echo test, ECG several times, spirometry test , blood test , X-ray several times and pules oximeter all of them came back normal. I feel really bad after I eat and I feel my stomach is not comfortable at all and when I try to breathe throw Diaphragm the difficulty breathing increase. The food immediately goes back to my throat even water. There is a lot of gas in my stomach and no appetite for food at all. All what I think of are my stomach and breathing.

It’s anxiety. If you are consuming any caffeine, cut it out for now. Specially the energy drinks for working out. Try not to focus on your heart and symptoms, You’re good. You’re here breathing and reading the comments.

I get this too, on and off all day - I struggle to accept its just anxiety but it’s been going on a while now so it must be.. are you on any medication for your anxiety? it may be worth talking to your doctor for some extra help.
