So worried about what’s wrong with me...

[Hypo27]

Well I’m just continually getting worse last night I woke up really short of breath I’m guessing it’s some form of apnea.... Whatevwr is wrong is affecting me at night to :( I see my pcp tomorrow I’m terrified of what wrong with my breathing... It’s gotta be either something neurological like respiratory muscle weakness or the chiari or pulmonary hypertension.. I can’t take satisfying breaths anymore and climbing any kind of stairs or ladders really gets me out of breath :(

I am guessing it is ...... anxiety.

I’m still having breathing issues and it’s just getting worse :(. I really think it’s something bad like pulmonary hypertension or respiratory muscle weakness... I have a pulse ox meter and I’ve watched it go down to 95 % at rest and I walked a good distance with the meter on and it went down to 87 percent :( I’m so scared guys....

I’m really so scared I know it’s something bad...

The past few nights have been so hard to go to sleep because the right feeling in my chest and shortness of breath... I have an o2 meter and my oxygen never goes above 97 it usually stays at 96% which is really odd.... I checked it earlier while walking and it dropped to 87% could it have been a bad read? Does it sound like I need to go back to the er??? I went last night where they did all the normal routine stuff again X-ray, ekg, blood work ect and it was all normal. Please what should I do :(

[Hypo27]

My o2 level laying in bed right now is 96% then jumped to 98 then back to 96 it’s like I’m not able to breathe deep enough for it to stay like 98...

And then on top of that I haven’t been able to fall asleep until really late idk if that’s because my breathing or just from the worry and stress about the breathing?

Bear in mind that this is a UK-based site so only the very earliest of birds will likely be around.

You're in a panic spiral right now. It's awful, but the anxiety is your problem, not the health concerns. I tend to get massively short of breath when I'm anxious.

For a quick fix, go look on YouTube for guided meditations? There should be something there you can follow.
