Hello All - im a veteran anxiety sufferer! about 15 years no

For the last 4 months I have suffered from feeling that I can't breath properly. In my 15 years, this has never been a problem. It comes and goes and yes distraction can help at times however doesnt stop me from worrying about a heart condition or even impending heart attack (big article in Sun newspaper today!!)

I have visited my walk in centre twice and GP once. They have said its anxiety although i dont necessarily agree. The exmination included: listening to chest and back with stethoscope; blowing into a 'asthma' tube (sorry dont know name)and had oxygen monitor on my finger. Does this equal a thorough examination?

I worry that anything I visit my GP with will be put down to anxiety and im not being checked out properly.

Thanks in anticipation.
