Breathlessness... feels constant

[Kellylou1712]

I'm starting to feel constantly out of breath. I've had my heart checked, I do have asthma however the inhalers don't seem to help and both cardiologist and asthma nurse are adamant this isn't from my breathing.. I can only assume at this point that my anxiety is once again taking a hold on me. My issue is that now whenever I exert myself and my heart races ever so slightly I suddenly think 'I can't breathe' and I'm sent into a doom like state where my breathing gets worse and then I have a full blown panic attack that takes ages to come down from. I'm getting to a point where I don't want to do anything remotely physical.

I forced myself to go on a 6k walk on Monday and on Wednesday morning, I managed this fine so I KNOW I'm likely okay but I'm obsessing about heart issues that maybe weren't picked up on my echo or ecg and I'm just so worried about myself when these episodes increase.

I hate anxiety when I go through periods like this is physically robs me of so much joy in my life.

Does anyone else feel a constant breathlessness, I can breathe but it's like I can't quite catch that last 20% of a full breath!
