Dyspnea from.anxiety?

Iv had a new symptom, the feeling of constantly having to take deep breaths to get that satisfying breathe take. Air hunger ...

Iv suffered with tension headaches,dizziness, chest pains, offbalance, had one full blown episode of vertigo once , palpitations,

Iv done mri of the brain all normal

Iv done ct scan with contrast to rule out pulmonary embolism as well as a d dimer test for blood clots that all came back normal..

I still have the tension headaches some dizziness here and there but this new symptom of dyspnea is really troublesome..can anyone relate..

ive been feeling the same i have bad headaches i had vertigo and neck ache and shoulders l feek like i feel dizzy unstable like im gonna fall over or pass out. Ive been recently having the i cant get enough air in me feeling it feels like theres pressure on my chest . Ive done test on my brain but they say im fine. I see a heart doctor done all stress test and heart ultra sounds and blood work come back fine but the doctor did say one of my heart valves has a small leak but didnt seam to worried about it. So i dont know whats going on with me. And im sacred.

[Hidden in reply to Purple_haze51]

Same here its irritating

[Purple_haze51 in reply to Hidden]

I know its very irritating how do you cope with it. I cant function at all i forget things all the time.

[Hidden in reply to Purple_haze51]

I realy keep pushing myself everyday...I feel like meditation and not thinking about it helps..but definitely being anxious all the time not knowing my breathing pattern I guess startles it...I'll keep searching for answers even through the doctors and I will update this post..in the meantime keep pushing..I know it's hard because it is for me to but try to not try so hard to think of it if you get my drift...try to focus on something else get your mind off of it ..you might notice a difference . Maybe not totally different but in time we will end up getting rid of it

What do you take ? im afraid to take meds i always seem to get a side effect from them. I was on zoloft i. Felt really good then i started to get really shaky so it scared me to stop them .

[Hidden in reply to Purple_haze51]

I never tried anything yet , but I have been prescribed zoloft just never taken them. I'm just like you scared to get on them due to the side effects, but I'm probrally not going to have a choice my anxiety just gets worst and worst everyday I'm going to have to try it out some how...

[Purple_haze51 in reply to Hidden]

I know your right ive got to get on something i cant function like this anymore its driving me insane.

[Hidden in reply to Purple_haze51]

[Purple_haze51 in reply to Hidden]

Had the same issue to man it sucks but it’s the anxiety manifesting it’s symptons into you

[Hidden in reply to Panicdisorder2000]

Thanks for the reply, so how did you get rid of the breathing issue..?

It is definitely anxiety taking head shots at me and I'm trying to be like Muhammad ali and take the blows..but it's like I'm fighting Tyson lol..

Anyways ya what did you do to get rid of it?

[Panicdisorder2000 in reply to Hidden]

For a while when I hit my nicotine vape pen it helped but that’s just an unreliable way try really hard to yawn it’s annoying but it helps a lot

[Hidden in reply to Panicdisorder2000]

How long have you had this symptom?

Sorry for asking these questions just trying to learn and understand it more

[Panicdisorder2000 in reply to Hidden]

Years and ask more I wanna help people my physctriest said it was anxiety excessive yawning

[Hidden in reply to Panicdisorder2000]

It's weird because I dont yawn much..and I dont know how to make myself yawn on my own without feeling tired....

I literally have to pull hard to get atleast one satisfying breathe, this will go on everyday ..Iv had it for about a month already. I do believe it's related to anxiety due to many test taken normal...but it's like my chest hurts from taking deep breaths

[Hidden in reply to Panicdisorder2000]

By the way I like your name panicdisorder2000 I think I'll change mine to anxious24/7-2019

[Panicdisorder2000 in reply to Hidden]

Yea it’s hard i can’t really explain how to yawn but it’s not a physical condition you have your lungs are fine I bet one thing that’s helps is being busy cause a lot of it has to do with monitoring your breath and yea lol my names funny

[Hidden in reply to Panicdisorder2000]

Ya I find that being buizy pre occupies my mind but it's like always still there...idk maybe mine is a little worst maybe because I'm not controlling my anxiety as much as I need to...but I think I need to control it more with meds and walking and diet

Same here chronic nonstop night and day. It is so hard.

[Hidden in reply to Likeabadstorm]

Have u done any test

[Likeabadstorm in reply to Hidden]

MRA of head and neck normal. MRI of brain normal. MRI of Cspine and thoracic spine normal. Lumbar spine showed bulging disc and mild stenosis, nothing that could effect the brain like it has been. Limes disease negative. Low Vit d and normal on low side range b12, been supplementing for a few months now. Thyroid test ok.y levels go sightly abnormal here and there, I have multinodular goiter. Cortisol normal. Phenochromcytoma ruled out by blood work last year.

Eeg done last year one said normal with rare phase inverting sharp. So I Had a 72 hour video eeg and it was normal- didn’t have an episode during that time so not sure. Waitng to get another one sometime this December, waiting for the new machine and staff to be trained, though this has been what I’ve been told all summer long, so if not I will have him send me to a nigger hospital to get it done if o have to.

Last year went to cardio and had a echocardiogram and cardiac stress test and wore a zeo patch for 14 days (Luke a halter monitor, but small and sticks to your skin near your heart) and all was normal just a few beats of my heart that would speed up but nothing of concern
