Hi all,
So I have been struggling for over a year with weakness and muscles that tremor on movement that has got worse and worse -I have had a broad array of blood tests, I've just had an ecg which was fine, I saw the doc this morning to get results. He didn't listen to lungs but did take BP and oxygen which were fine.
But despite all the good news about tests -on top of my current problem I started getting breathless last week. First it was just with doing things like picking up my daughter's toys, since then I've just suddenly got so breathless it's gone into full blown panic which has taken ages to come down from.
The last few days I have barely felt normal. I've also not been able to sleep -only a couple hours last couple nights! Today I've felt very short of breath, and worse on getting up/walking around. Also my head feels really full/light/as if there's not enough blood or I may pass out when I get up, even after doing some relaxed breaths. I also keep nearly choking on food or saliva, as I feel like I need to take a breath when I'm swallowing or swallow when I take a breath (not sure which) I also have been feeling like I can feel saliva going down/tickling the back of my throat so I keep needing to swallow. I also have super heavy feeling/achey arms.
I'm in such a muddle here, can someone speak reality to me!? This *can* all be insanely out of control anxiety, right?! (please be kind, really struggling with all this right now!)
