Hello,
I'm going completely out of my mind and I would love some advice right now-- seriously ANYTHING. I posted before but didn't really get a reply.
For about a month I've really struggled to breathe properly. I know-- so typical of anxiety, but I'm used to 'bad breathing' from anxiety but this is different. It felt asthmatic but inhalers and allergy medication did not help. I've found it more difficult to exercise, walk home from work, etc., because I get this horrible breathing.
I've been to multiple doctors who don't seem concerned. I've had general blood tests done, a chest x-ray, and an ECG. They said everything looks good, but I can't help the feeling that they are missing something, or the results got mixed up, or something. I'm worried about a blood clot-- but they don't seem to even check for it because I have none of the risk factors. (I was on birth control for about 2 weeks in February, probably a month before this started). This frustrates me but I recognize they are doctors and know what they're doing, but then, couldn't it be something like a blood clot, or am I just crazy?
I feel like anytime I tell anyone "well the doctors didn't find anything but I'm still worried", they just immediately zone out and chalk it up to "anxiety".
I would love something, anything, that could possibly reassure me, or, I don't know, give me some sort of answer.
Thank you SO much for anything you might be able to say.
