hi everyone
i have suffered from anxiety - mainly health related for many many years and experienced almost all of the horrible symptoms but atm im dealing with a new one and currently tryna understand is it ‘just’ anxiety or is it a ohysical issue.
i am constantly feeling breathless.
do far iv had
a d dimmer blood test as at 1st my dr suspected a clot
a chest xray
a covid test
all showing ok.
it feels different to anxiety but i know it always does.
can anyone advise what root to go down with the dr plz or if they think anxiety
thank you x
i have had breathlessness as a symptom of anxiety. i had tests done (Ekg, stress test, PFT) and they all came back normal. The doctor said that my anxiety is manifesting and its just one more thing for me to constantly worry about. if its not breathlessness its pins and needles everywhere. The breathlessness eventually went away (when i stopped going to my MIL house everyday) and i was more calm. This was my second episode of breathlessness. my first was when i was super stressed and my aunt passed away from pancreatic cancer. That took a few months to go away as well. It doesn’t hurt to get the tests done just to be safe but it is most likely anxiety related. Good luck! you are not alone.
thank you so much for replying to me. im sure it will turn out to be that. i think sometimes just knowing for sure a symptom isnt physical makes it go away xxx
