in Febuary i got bronchitis, it was pretty bad, was sick pretty much the whole month and constasntly short of breath to the point of going to the E.R. on three occasions, the bronchitis has cleared up now but i have been short of breath ever since. i have been to the Dr. and pulminologist SOO many times since then 10-15 in past 3 months! i have had 2 chest x-rays, a test to check for pulminary embolism, ct skan, a couple blood tests and a pulminary function tese, they all came back normal. the pulminologist said i have mild asthma but thats it. now this shortness of breath is not all from asthma, i dont think i have asthma period but i guess it could be possible, but not like i would notice because i can never breath normally anymore!!
1.its constant its from the time i wake up to when i go to sleep. There are no "attacks".
2.i can still doing physical things, even run, it doesnt get any worse its just there.
3.it never bothers me when im asleep
4.when i can distract myself from thinking about it(this is rare, its hard to stop thinking about, i think about it all day!) it doesnt seem to bother me.
whatever is causing this it makes me miserable, i can never breath and at times i just wish i were dead. i search it on the internet all the time its like the only thing i care about anymore i just want to find out whats wrong so i can fix it. and i have thought i have had soooo many things. everytime i would read the symptoms of a disease with shortness of breath i would just know i had it like i felt 100% i had it that emphyseama, pulminary hypertension, pulminary fibrosis, etc etc literally like 20+ things i was terrified i had, now that theyve said im healthy i dont do it as bad it just seems likes somethings wrong all the time so occasionally ill start thinking i have something but can usually dismiss it now. i was already somewhat depressed before this started(not clinicaly diagnosed or anything but depressed all the same) but now im terribly depressed ill think of something like the future and it just seems like its like whats the point i cant breath anyway.i have some pretty bad anxiety as well like ill always be thinking omg what is that person thinking about me? what are they thinking about what i just said? and ill get really anxious about everyday things like for example which shirt should i wear? sometimes ill change like three times because ill think the decision about the shirt is going to have like a huge impact on my impact on my life/day. so idk could this be anxiety? depression? something thats just all in my head? i just cant believe im healthy(im happy to be but it just seems something is wrong) and this shortness of breath is torture!
its like its completly taken over my life like nothing really matters anymore.
thanks for response
for the asthma they put me on advair and singulair, i took the advair for a month and it did nothing for me so i quit taking it, i do still take the singulair though but i dont notice a difference, sinus’s are a lil clearer but i think the advair was causing the sinus problems. i sleep pretty good never really want to get up in the morning because sleeping is like the only time i get relief

I’m having extreme difficulty in deciding whether I should go on the class field trip for my grade. I have been suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and have been seeing a psychiatrist for over a year now, and have been taking medication. I’ve seen a significant drop in my anxiety symptoms (panic attacks before school, irrational worrying, shaking, fast pulse, etc) but a field trip puts me in an awful position. The field trip will be for a few days, and I’ve been increasingly nervous about it for a variety of reasons. I’ve gone on the field trip last year, and I had friends yet still was incredibly miserable and ended up crying a couple times and wanting desperately to go home. It made me feel sick and only worsened my social anxiety (I hate being in large crowds, it makes me feel rejected and such since I don’t have many friends) Due to this, I’ve been feeling more and more nervous about this one. My old friends don’t go to the same school anymore and the friends I do have aren’t very close, and there will be multiple occasions that I probably will be separated from them. I’ve already had several breakdowns in the last few days because I simply can’t figure out if I should go or stay– if I stay home, I will feel like I’m isolating myself from kids, and the last thing I want is to draw attention to myself because I’m the only kid skipping the trip. However, if I do go, I’m scared of getting increasingly nervous and having panic attacks, as well as having kids get a bad impression of me because I’ll be sick and depressed. (I also have horrid car sickness, and we will be on a bus for three hours… I’ve thrown up from bus rides before) So this leaves me with an awful dilemma. I’m frightened to death of going, just because I despise being rejected and alone, and I really have tried to make friends but to no avail. I suppose at this point I’m too shy and different for kids to like me, I’m just not ‘popular’ material. I am a very studious person and would rather do well in school and become successful than waste my time socializing and getting into drugs and alcohol. But then again… I do care about how people perceive me. I don’t want my only friends to turn their back on me because I didn’t go. Will I be letting them down if I don’t go? I keep thinking they will hate me.

Anyway, I’ve been rambling too long. What I really need is for someone to give me advice on this, and please don’t say "You should go, it’s a great opportunity to make friends". I’m sorry but I’ve heard that one too many times and it just doesn’t work for me. So please, I need a real answer this time, and tell me what you think. I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks again!

For the last 2-3 months (approximately) I have been having a lot of weird and random pain, mostly in my upper left region. I randomly will get chest pain, sometimes localized, sometimes all around. It will often radiate to my shoulders, arms, and neck .. more often on the left side. Also, I will get a lot of abdominal pain and discomfort under my ribs. I have been associating it to anxiety, due to events of the past year. I don’t always feel anxious or stressed out, but I also know you can get pain/anxiety attacks out of the blue. The symptoms I have described will come and go throughout the day, sometimes last a few second, sometimes minutes, sometimes longer. Sometimes, also, the pain will catch me off guard and be so severe that it will cause me to become more anxious/nervous and there have been occasions where I have had to pull over when driving to just breath and/or rub my arm/shoulder/top of chest.

Currently as I am typing this and throughout today, it is a burning and stabbing feeling. It is making me restless, cranky, and overall tired and irritable.

I have had an ECG almost a year ago and a chest CT due to a blood clot in my lung and a CT of my abdomen a few months ago .. all came back okay.

I am a 22 year old female and otherwise am healthy. I often worry that it might be something severe, but I, and others, have been contributing it to anxiety .. I guess it is just to the point where I am unsure anymore and it is becoming unbearable.

I am just looking for some opinions/thoughts I suppose of what it could possibly be.
