Hello!
Itīs so complicated... Well, I am a freshmen at university and I am going through several difficulties that are related to being a freshmen. I must admit that quite many things are OK or even very good in my life, but I canīt accept one thing. That one thing is hypochondria.
My latest concern is related to my lungs and breathing. I find it hard to breathe, my every breath is not satisfying(I guess it is called shortness of breath), I feel a pressure in my chest area and so on. But well, these are classical anxiety symptoms. I feel very dreaded about these symptoms that I have: tickling sensation in my throat and lungs and when I breathe I can hear from the sound that it is not "clear" but sort of obstructed.(the sound imitates the sound when you blow through straw) And the most debilitating symptom is this: sometimes I get this sensation of "breathing collapsing"(seems like lungs close up for a second and then release) that at times is accompanied by quick blackening in eyes(vision problem, canīt describe it better) and after this sensation I feel tickle in my lungs for minutes and quick tightening under my chest. I have developed this symptom few months ago and back then I wasnīt really bothered but now I am worried. As much as I have observed this symptom it tends to reoccur when I am nervous and in certain positions. I have checked my heart, nothing except a little bit elevated BP and heart rate could be registered. I have done blood tests too, I am low on D-vitamin(now taking supplements) but everything else is normal. I have some issues with scoliosis and cifosis and I think it might have an effect on my breathing. Also I started getting random pains in my legs which are probably muscle spasms. And well, I have developed vision problems too, sometimes everything seems dimmer.
Does anyone have the same complaints? Could it be something serious? I have an appt. on next week, canīt wait.
