Hi. This has been 4 days now since I felt like I can’t breathe right.. The symptoms I have been getting is itchy skin in certain parts and nose and trouble breathing. I’m afraid it could be allergies but I haven’t been getting any other common symptoms of allergies and I have never been allergic to anything. Could it be anxiety and should I be concerned? I seen my doctor recently and he said I was perfectly healthy and my blood test results were normal. I’ve been stressing out and keep panicking about this.. The only problem I have that the doctor found which isn’t anything major is nasal drip and that I have a habit of washing my hands too much than how many times a normal person washes their hands in a day. So my skin is mostly dry a lot. I’m really paranoid of germs and hate touching items in the house or outside that could have germs on it and I find relief of stress by washing my hands.
anxirty can definitely cause itching and shortness of breath, I’ve had both of these , especially the itching . I find the more I think about it the worse it gets
the brain is such a powerful thing !!
Thank you so much for responding! I had no idea that anxiety can cause itching as well. It’s very frustrating. I know shortness of breath is very common but thanks for letting me know. Anxiety is so hard to overcome..
HI. Sorry your feeling like this. Recently when I had shortness of breath (which I thought was anxiety too) it turned out to be acid reflux - which I had NO idea could cause shortness of breath. It happened more after a meal. Just throwing it out there as a possibility.
Hope you feel better soon.
