Why am I having trouble breathing?
July 7th, 2010
jon asked:
Well, I’ve been having trouble breathing, (At work, home, driving, sometimes right when I wake up) and the doctors keep telling me it’s just anxiety attacks. I’ve had many many anxiety attacks before, but never noticed the trouble breathing before.
Is it possible it could just be asthma? I don’t have any other of the usual anxiety symptoms that I normally get with this trouble breathing…Is asthma detectable even when its not acting up? I don’t have a regular doctor, so I think they over look the other possibilities because I always tell them right away that I’m prone to anxiety attacks…They tell me my lungs are fine, but I never have trouble breathing when I’m getting checked, coincidentally. (I can’t afford to go to the emergency room every time I have trouble breathing due to a min. wage job, and no insurance yet.)
