Hi all,
Wanted to ask on here about these symptoms as I don't want to rush off to the doctors. Since about May/ June I've been getting regularly breathless and it kind of comes from nowhere. I feel like I need to cough things up but I can't, which in turn leads to panic and more breathlessness. It comes on quite suddenly and goes away for a bit ( most recently I haven't had the problem for a. Couple of weeks). I'm asthmatic and smoked on and of for about 5 years ( biggest mistake of my life) so I'm quite anxious about it..Also if it is related to anxiety I feel that by taking the inhalers, I'm causing myself to become reliant on them. Holding back the urge to google lung conditions, but it is quite unsettling.
