Everyday it seems i have these bouts of shortness of breathe... I went to the psych back in December, and she diagnosed GAD/Panic, I even had my blood tested and did a stress test where i got my HR up to 190ish
BUT
I cant seem to shake the feeling that something is seriously wrong with me.. I don't know if its an after-effect of losing my Mom to a terminal illness or what.
So heres my symptoms
-short of breathe, while resting most of the time
-a very active stomach, which is burpy/bloated/gurgling (sometimes i feel like i got a huge burp but cant get it out!)
-a clogged nasal passage, which i was told was swollen polyps (sp?)
-constant need to clear my throat of mucus ( not a cough.. it doesnt feel like its in the lungs just the top of my throat) MONTHS!
-sometimes while falling asleep i feel like i stop breathing causing myself to jump upright (never happens while fully asleep)
- chest pains like someone is poking my chest from the inside... not painful, but obviously isnt good for my mindset
-The dreaded heart fluttering panic attack (usually can prevent if i try to remove myself from the situation)
So with that said im not all doom and gloom.. I had until recently been very afraid to exercise because somewhere in my mind there is a voice telling me something is wrong with my heart. Crazy? Anyways I can run maybe a half-mile without feeling overly short of breathe. I'm a 28 year old male and i'm within good weight..
Please anybody if you have these problems or know if im okay I'd really appreciate it.. Sometimes I just want to cry thinking that Ill have to live my life like this...
