Hi
OMG, blood thinner do not actually thin the blood they stop or reduce the side of clotting.
Online medication should be avoided.
If it's required you GP can prescribe suitable medication.
Oxygen goes into your blood stream to be transported around your body.
Of the 21% we breath in we exhale 16% so we only use and need 5%.
What ever your symptoms are speak to your GP before self medication.
Some of the side effects.
Excessive menstrual bleeding
Coughing up anything red in color
Severe headache or stomachache
Dizziness or weakness
Blood in the urine or bowel movement
There can be many reasons why you are breathless. Blood thinners can be very dangerous and should only be prescribed and monitored by a medical professional as part of a drug regime for various conditions. It would be best if you go to your Doctor and begin proper investigations to diagnose the cause of your breatlessness.

I was told on monday by my Gp its my asthma and anxiety, I know asthma and this is not asthma and taking 5 different anxiety meds this is not that kind of anxiety but it is causing anxiety severely. I am sick, there is something going on internally.

yes it can be very frightening but self medicating with a drug which is more associated with blood clotting due to heart and circulation problems is really not the way to go. I suggest that you go back to your GP, tell them that you are convinced that this is not due to your asthma and demand a referral to a heart specialist. I have lifelong bronchiectasis and it took me two years to persuade my GP and chest consultant that a different kind of breathlessness was not due to my chest condition. Finally I saw a heart guy. I had developed atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy. With the right drugs I am now only breathless when doing difficult tasks.
As your GP is not managing the situation properly, a visit to your asthma specialist may be a good idea also as the nature of your ashma may have changed and it is not now being managed properly.

I am going to see someone who will listen to me i hope. I did develope a bad pain on my upper arm from lack of moving around (Im a widow since sept. 2006) much saddness I've had but taking meds for that and inhalers for my asthma. I am so weak my body is not functioning like it used to in 51 yrs old air passageways sound fine, I can feel tightness in my chest no pain there yet I hope I havecaught whatever it is in time I phsically am worn and not enough oxygen I can feel it.
I meant to say that im 51yrs old
Oregon123o I have no idea how you could 'feel' that your oxygen is low. Mine drops exceedingly low but I have never felt it and I was unaware until tests showed it. Also, low oxygen levels do not cause breathlessness. Perhaps it's your anxiety which is causing your breathlessness? Or a side-effect of medications taken? It could have numerous causes. Whatever is going on though self-medicating with products bought online is a very dangerous way to go. I am going to 'lock' this post to further comments because I don't want anyone to offer advice or an opinion which may inadvertently prove detrimental to your health.
Please take the advice already offered and return to your GP and discuss all of this with him/her.
