I've had breathing problems for 10months now! It started from having a throat infection which made my health anxiety start again, then stress from work, and having a massive panic attack where I overheated and ran up the stairs and fainted.
For 10 months I have had these breathing difficulties feels like there is a sponge over my mouth and nose and it's stopped me from living.
I'm fine when I'm sat down in my house but as soon as I get up and have to walk anywhere my lower ribs feel so tense and I start to feel out of breath and I get really hot and sweat so bad and have heart flutters. I even struggle walking up the stairs. Even walking in to a shop which is warm makes me start to hyperventilate.
I've been to the doctors who say it's anxiety but I can't get rid of this feeling I feel so dizzy and faint all the time. Please someone tell me they've experienced this before and it does go away because this is ruining my life!
