The shortness of breath and leg weakness may be, in fact, are likely to be caused by anxiety. It may help you to visit your doctor and get these checked. If he says everything is OK then you will know your problem is health anxiety and you can work on that. You may want to look for a therapist as well and consider antidepressants. How is your life going other than your physical symptoms?

I go to a physciatrist as well as family dr. They play musical pills. Family dr. has taken me off most of them. I feel weak from worry and fear. I'm scared of any testing so that holds me back. If it wasn't for the FEAR daily I;d have a happy life, husband is very understanding but no amt of talking helps

Testing is scary and especially scary is the wait for the test results. Are there any tests that your doctor wants you to have but that you have been too scared to do? If so, try to have the tests; I think the test results are likely to give you more piece of mind. Also, do you take any anti depressants? Another thing you can do is ask your psychiatrist to speak to your doctor. They. can discuss your symptoms and come up with a plan of action that would include appropriate medication and any needed tests. I feel for you.xx

Thank you for your kind reply. I've been too afraid to go see the family dr. Yes, I take rexalti for anxiety and andidepressent. I am pre occupied with death which makes things worse. The shortness of breath just started out of no where in Oct. All I can do is try to be brave.
