Hy everybody, I am new on this forum, I found it through google. I hope that you guys can help me probably because you are more experienced at this then I am.
Let's start at the beginning. I am 26 years old and I think I have an anxiety disorder. I started to have problems breathing 2 years ago, went to a doctor and he diagnosed me with chronic bronchitis. He prescribed me a Ventolin Inhaler and after a while I was better. My symptoms came up again and they lasted aprox 2 weeks every 6 months. In december I felt really worse, I thought I will die, I coulnd't breath at all and went to the emergency room. They did blood tests, chest xrays and put me on a heart monitor for 30 minutes and couldn't find anything. They even told me that I don't have any bronchitis. Finally the doctor sad that I had a panic attack. Since I don't feel any better. In January I mooved in a new contry I dont have medical insurance yet so can't really go for another checkup. I have the following symptoms:
-trouble breathing (worse at night), trouble sleeping, woke up a few times feeling like my heart stoped and that I cant breath, lightheadedness, lump in my neck but present only at night, of course went I cant breath I panic after a while. Cant really concentrate on things. I dont know maybe I am stressed because I have to improove my language skills and find a new job, but generaly I am not a stressed person. What can you tell me about youre experiences can this be an anxiety disorder? I don't have any problems going outside or beeing in a crowded place and I don't have any fobias (maybe a dentist fobia :) ) . I dont even know what doctor should I visit , or what other test should I take. Thank you for youre answers in advance.
