No Answers From Doctors...2 years later! (Breathing)

Hello my name is Chris and I would like to start off by saying that I am 29 years old and in the past two years I have been diagnosed with many issues.

First of all I was diagnosed generalized anxiety disorder and the worst case of peripheral neuropathy that my neurologist said he had ever seen. A year-and-a-half into struggling with severe anxiety and bad headaches and the neuropathy my neurologist finally decided that I should get an MRI of my head and my spine. When the results came back it was discovered that I had a pituitary adenoma that was the size of a golf ball and also had issues with my L2 L3 area of my spine.

I wanted to preface all that so that you knew everything I was dealing with before trying to help me out here. The main reason I'm here is because I feel like I'm dealing with some kind of breathing disorder, but all the doctors have told me that I'm fine. It literally feels like someone is lightly choking me all day and it feels like I can't get a breath deeper then my lower throat area. It has been absolutely miserable the last 3 weeks and falling asleep is a complete nightmare. I wake up gasping for air and feeling like somebody is choking me for a good 3 to 5 Seconds before I can get my breath again. Has anybody else dealt with this breathing issue? Thank you in advance for your time.

Had the breathing/choking issue for a month. It felt never ending and I still get it sometimes now. A good sign (so my doctor tells me) is if it doesn't get worse with exercise. The only thing my doctor could come up with was allergies and then she sent me to a cardiologist because I also have heart palpitations. the thing that "cured" it for me was not thinking about it. Unfortunately this happened for me because other symptoms were at the forefront of my mind and made me worry more so I eventually forgot I had a breathing problem. I hope it goes away for you soon because I know how tough it is.

I feel you should bring all this up with the nuerologist who handled the pit. Tumor. Allow a nuerologist diagnosis here. Even if its anxiety based on your medical history,  this isnt  good idea to self diagnose.

If you got no answers from your present doctors seek out a different nuerologist. I never say this, i know it scary and many fear it but maybe seek out a nuerologist who specializes in Multiple sclerosis. Worst thing to say on an anxiety forum i know, but your medical history kind of gives you a 60% chance and this should be thoroughly checked out.
