I have searched google (I know I know) high and low looking for what this could be, and it worries me more that I cant find anything!
I have some stomach issues, I suspect, because when my anxiety revs up I can feel my stomach burning and making tons of gas ( I burp a lot). For the past 3 months I have been frantic over the fact that sometimes I feel as though I'm wheezing, but only when breathing in, and I have a hard time breathing in. I have no chest tightness when this happens, and I dont feel as though I'm out of breath, just when I breathe in it feels, I guess I would call it coarse, rough. Like borderline wheezing.
I went to my DR, an ear nose and throat specialist (who looked down my throat with a mirror) and a pulmonologist (I have asthma but this is not my asthma at all, and I'm actually scheduled for challenge testing because my pulmo believes I dont have asthma anymore). I've had all the blood work, chest xrays, ekgs, everything you can think of.
I'm now noticing that it is mainly during or after I eat or drink, and thats anything. It doesnt happen at every meal, mostly in the evening, and its not an allergic reaction or my asthma, I've taken antihistamines and my inhailer, and neither did anything at all. Sometimes it lasts for 5 minutes, sometimes 3 hours, but I never become out of breath.
Sorry for the length, and thank you for reading this far, but I was wondering if anyone else had this, ever, and if it ended up being just anxiety? I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist tomorrow, because the only thing I can think it'd be would be my stomach or gall bladder. I'd greatly appreciate any advice or stories anyone can share about this. Thank you
