*************************NOT A DOCTOR***********************

Well, judging from the fact that this website caters to generally anxiety stricken people and also from your thread topic of "Anxiety," I'm willing to bet you struggle with it yourself. I say this because in the first few posts you mentioned not knowing its medical significance and whether it was serious.

If you had posted this thread on WebMD or some other general health oriented forum, the responses might have been more along the lines of "Get to the hospital stat!" and/or "Have this checked immediately by a pulmonologist if you're still okay."


Not trying to be snarky, just want to reassure you it's likely your anxiety and panic...like me.

I would encourage you, if money's not an issue, to see your GP and/or a specialist like a pulmonologist to rule out this issue. They're the only ones that can help with your doubts. After doing this, you'll just have to come to terms with anxiety.
