Hello I will link the other post I put on the forum here to help you to understand the situation:

Now I know I am not to search for reassurance but it is not reassurance I come seeking so much as knowing someone will have been through the same thing and come out the other end!
I am posting because all day every day I have chronic shortness of breath (this has been going on for the best part of 5 weeks. I have had a sore throat and such recently however I am suffering dreadfully with a lack of breath. It is not that I cannot breath or that my oxygen levels are low (going on what A&E said 5 weeks ago) It is simply that my chest feels tight and heavy.
The key symptoms I am experiencing at the moment are:
- Severe lack of breath (feels as though I cannot get a deep breath all the time or like it is an effort to breath).
- Dizziness when I walk (to the point I feel as though I could topple over at any second) a lack of the ability to think straight is also present.
- Ringing in the ears (this comes with no relief and is also chronic) worse some times than others
- Splitting headaches. (these come and go)
- Difficulty of many types (downstairs)
So has anyone had these symptoms or similar. I am usually very active and healthy and have no erectile problems.
I am an 18 year old male and this is really tearing me apart.
