Does anyone suffer from breathing problems on here? I have been having it for a while on and off, but for the last few months it has been a daily battle. I have had ecg's galore and blood tests and an asthma check, and they can't find anything wrong. every day I feel like my windpipe has been bound in string, I feel like I cannot get a full breath of air into my lungs, sometimes it feels really tight to breathe in and like its a constant effort and I have to 'think' about breathing!
sometimes It won't affect me until the afternoon but as soon as it hits, BAM, in my head im going to drop dead at any moment, I go into panic overdrive, I sometimes have to lie down on the nearest surface and just calm myself down and focus on getting my breath back.
I know my body won't stop breathing but I just can't seem to relax when the symptoms hit. its so terrifying and debilitating, I wish I knew what caused it and how to stop it! it can go on all day and right up until I go to sleep sometimes.
Does anyone else on here suffer with anything similar? any tiny ounce of advice would be greatly appreciated, it's really sucking the life and soul out of me :weep:
