It feels like I can’t get enough oxygen in my lungs, but it’s only when I become aware of my breathing. What is wrong with me?
Oh yeah, same
Same
That has been happening to me for the past 4 days
has it finished or do you still have it cause ive been experiencing it for dayz so The Color Red please respond
@Raine Paris I only get it occasionally when I become aware of it so thanks for reminding me cause now I have it :(
MUSIC FOR NO REASON TOOK MY ALL ATTENTION.
LISTENING AND UNDERSTAND EACH WORD OF GENIUS DR JOHN GERRY WAS VERY VERY IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE FOR ME, NOT MUSIC IN THE VIDEO.
I FEEL I HAVE BECOME AWARE OF MUSIC NOW.
This is totally not going to sit well with a lot of people but I know for myself it does seem to have some merit. I have experimented with this numerous times and I see a strong pattern. For those who can’t seem to figure out the mystery with their being short of breath and feeling tired and weak....try disengaging from your cellphone for at least 10-14 days. Minimal use just for emails and quick texts only. Now, it could be that I develop a different pattern of breathing when I’m on my cellular phone for long periods and often I will engage in material that is anxiety producing so it could be that...or, the radiation/EMF’s might have some type of impact on our hemoglobin and it’s having a disruptive effect on our blood cells and perhaps not enough oxygen is getting into the blood cells and inflammation is present. I really want to try and do a long trial like 3-4 months to see if I experience significant improvement. Maybe my theory is bogus but I am really sick of feeling so shitty all the time and like I’m 90 years old.
Hey did you manage to keep away from your phone for 3months? And are you doing better

It could be from your stomach
I noticed I can walk about 120 steps if moving straight forward at a comfortable pace, but if my cell phone is on me and I'm talking to someone, I can only take about 15 steps before I get winded. I have a lot of health issues. atherosclerotic, copd, scarring in lungs, obesity, smoker for 49 years, low thyroid, massive ventral hernia, hepatomegally, premature atrophic left kidney, venous sstasis, GERD, etc. I take those 120 steps to the mailbox and back several times a day but I never rebuild my strength and my glutes utterly fail me the same time my lungs do. I make it to my table and can't get back up for quite some time. You're right, though. I can only take 15 if on the phone talking, so it is not advisable to multitask for me, anyway, while walking. All that jabber depletes muscles and lungs. Heart rate was 115 just today but my pulse ox said my blood oxygen was good. Just from walking for less than a minute.
Warning ⚠
Don't read the comments they can actually give you enxiety and make you think too deeply about your issues 😂
Edit: i felt like this 10 months ago but i have been good for 8 months now i pray for anyone who goes through this and may live with it for long time its honestly feels like dieng i couldn't sleep for nights i had to call anbulance and get taken to the hospital but turns out for me it was just enxiety and worrying about my breath added to it i am happy i never have to go through that again i hope that made sense english is my second language
Thanks, I’ll go no further 😐
@Shyamkumar Khangembam i cant guarantee but try to breath slowly and watch some funny videos or anything to get you not to think about it, keep yourself calm this is what i was doing at the time it was helping a little but remember nothing is better then seeing a doctor i hope you will feel better man i know how it feels i remember thinking what breathing normaly even felt like
@Shyamkumar Khangembam its most likely enxiety for you which is better then having asthma keep talking with friends or what ever that distracts you from it, it wont last long it will eventually go away
@Shyamkumar Khangembam buy an asthma pump it will help if you suddently have an attack
Corona gave me anxiety
I can breath fine but I cant stop thinking about my breathing it's hard to get to sleep
Sounds like OCD/anxiety. The fixations change over time. Generalized Anxiety and OCD often go hand in hand and it can feel like you are dying. Trouble shoot by taking a mild tranquilizer just to see if the ruminating settles down a bit. Have you suffered from OCD with tiger things?
@Shyamkumar Khangembam how long have you been experiencing this for? My mother had a spell like thus many years ago. She was under so much stress and began to experience a big lump in her throat. She was convinced she had throat cancer. Under investigation it was nothing and apparently she was experiencing upper esophageal irritation from having reflux of acid. Try using an acid neutralizing agent for a month, sleep with a wedge to keep your body elevated and avoid eating for two hours before bedtime to trouble shoot and see if there is any improvement.
@Shyamkumar Khangembam try the baking soda in a glass of water and eat foods in accordance with your Ayurvedic principles to settle the stomach. My guess is it’s gastric. Try not to worry because this will exacerbate the condition and if you have irritation of the esophagus from acids it will take longer to get it under control. Consume more plant based digestive enzymes also if you can and yogurt in the evening to replace any health gut flora that might’ve been destroyed with antibiotics you might have taken.
@Shyamkumar Khangembam even same happening with me..
@Shyamkumar Khangembam is it better now?
Does anyone’s throat feel really tight as well and feels like they are dying :(
Yes i cant sleep at night couse i feel i goona die but never happend couse your mind just creat shit

@@Dr-789 sir I am 16 year old. I have anxiety of death from the past 3 months . before this I was OK and lived a happy life. But now I have heart anxiety and I always think that cardiac arrest will happen to me and I will die. I have done an ECG for 10 times and echo they are normal . but I have very fast heart beat and also chest pain with shoulders,arms and feet so I always think that cardiac arrest will happen. My weight is 120 kg so I thout that obesity will cause cardiac arrest. Now a days I think I have artery blockage or spasm. Can coronary blockage accur in 16 year old
I am so glad i found this site, because even tho the doctor 👨⚕️ is not describing my problem, there are people making comments that pinpoint just what i have. It is as if i have a “hill” in my chest that my in-breath has to get up and over in order to feel like I inhaled a satisfying breath. Sometimes I make it up and over; other times i almost reach the top, but fail. Other times i barely can get started. Sometimes i get a running start, and that can sometimes get me up and over.
Yawning sometimes gets me over the hill.
The problem started when i was about 7. It would last a day or two, and then disappear for months. Over the years the time it lasted became worse, till now it is constant when i am awake.
When I become unaware of the problem, my breathing is fine.
I have the problem sometimes when i lie down to sleep, but i am always able to fall asleep.
Most of the time it is there when i awake.
I have been combing the internet, trying to find videos in which the maker of the video recognizes the problem, and offers a solution.
Please don’t discount stomach disorders, they affect your diaphragm, which controls your breathing, an antacid tablet sometimes helps, as in my own case.
I have shortness of breath at times and I'm starting to yawn more
i have exactly the opposite , i cant finish a yawn and i feel i cant fully breathe in or out
@@samuelbushi it lasts 4 moths for me and still going
Mabmam Man same man. I don’t want to live anymore.
albi your an amazing person don’t give up we all want to support you!
albi dont give up... hang on there see a doctor talk to someone. Ive been having mine almost 4weeks
I have an appointment with a lung specialist next month. I can not wait. This video helped me so much, I completely relate to so many people in these comments. Been living like this for years now 😭 comes & goes but it’s been so bad the past year
Hi Regan. We hope your appointment with the lung specialist goes well! All the best, the TD team.
how was it what happened
Can tapering off of certain medications cause central nervous system irregularities? I’ve been doing a micro taper of Nardil (MAOI) for a couple years now and ever since I started this taper I am experiencing attacks of extreme malaise, weakness, fatigue and BREATHLESSNESS. I feel like I am dying and have been to the ER 7 times in the last 16 months. Laying down is much worse than standing. And I often wake up and my legs and knees are totally numb. I’m scared so this is adding anxiety panic symptoms on top of it. I’m 45 a former smoker and hairstylist for 24 years.
I feel breathless sometimes when I became sick .. It feels like my chest itnt expanding
Yes me too. It feels like my lungs don’t become bugger
Me is same
Is it normal because I got sick, now I cant breath well should I go to the hospital
@@JadenWard yes that's my problem
Me too! It's horrible.
Been having this since i was a little kid, i'm 25 now, it happens mostly when i'm relaxed, it is what it is, i'm always yawning to catch my breath, i do exercise, i don't suffer from stress or depression or anything, it's just part of me and i dont believe it'll ever go away.
same :(
how are you now
@@diamondamora8582 the same, healthy but yawning and taking deep breaths to fill my lungs everynow and then, it's not going away but it's just some anoying thing i have to deal with and I'm use to, nothing too serious.
@@KpR0dS god, i’ve been suffering with this for 2 weeks, it feels like i can’t breathe correctly, feels like i’m not getting enough oxygen in my lungs, i can’t live like this
@@diamondamora8582 yeah i feel the same way, like I'm not getting enough oxygen untill i take those big deep breaths, but it's been like this since I was like 8 or 9 years old, it doesn't affect anything that I do today, it's just a little annoying thing, check the doctor too see if it's anything serious, if not, just embrace it, you'll get use to it and you'll be fine.
Ive smoked cigs 40 years and it certainly has short winded my physical stamina.
However ive refinished automobiles in facilitys with out adequte ventilation most of my life and this has by far damaged my hear and lungs far more seriously than cigeretts.
Ironicaly i find that my sudden eposodes of breathless are not helped my inhaler, but a puff or three on a cigerrett seems to have a calming effect that allows me to relaxe and recover from the contraction limiting my ability to breath normaly.
I know i have congestive heart failure copd pad and arteriosclerosis so i wont be with this world much longer.
Your health is your true wealth.
Dont throw your pearls away to sin.
Brilliant content and informative coverage, could you please not have the background noise or music?
Thank you very much for the info. Great!
Uhh I cant breathe Thats freaking scary
I can relate to you all. I am short of breath and it all started 9 months ago. Seen a pulmologist, cardiolist, and some many trips to the PC. Lungs are fine, they did all kinds of test my lungs check out good. I do have AFIB but only occasionally after much study and research I don't think its my heart causing it but it could be.
The labored breathing is such a mystery I can't figure it out. I am fit I walk miles every day and not out of breath. I had a stress test done (2 hours) on the treadmill everything was near perfect.
Even now as I type when I take a deep breath every 2 or 3 breaths dont' seem to fill the lungs but I can breathe. It is so strange to try to find the cause.
Could be plain ole anxiety. I lost my wife 5 years ago and my son 3 years ago lots of stress and the pros say stress is aculmulative it never leaves you you just manage it throughout your lifetime.
I deep breathe this sometimes helps. Its like something in either my gut or diaphram is causing it. Still looking for answers. The docs don't know what it is, they just tell me what it IS NOT..more or less.
My minerals I take daily I have a great diet I walk I do all the things you are supposed to do. I many never find out but I will not stop trying.
I'm so sorry for your loses, I'm not surprised your having problems with all you have been through! Your suffering from severe stress! Don't underestimate stress it can cause terrible effects on ones body, you sound like you take care of yourself and exercise regularly so you could try meditation 10 to 20 minutes a day, I have been meditating for 2 years every morning 20 to 30 minutes and it's been honestly miraculous what it's done for me. You can get a free trial on an app, head space or there's some great guided meditations on you tube. Best wishes, Sending love and healing to you ❤x
Same !

I have a question I’m 63 I’m not in bad shape about 15 lbs over weight and I been having this for asking as I can remember sometimes when I run up the steps and then stop I feel like I’m having trouble breathing but the. Either burp or pass gas and it goes away and I’m always going up and down steps I do maintenance for a living plus I do exercise regularly could it just be trapped gas ?
Thank you so much! Greeting from Morocco
Uncanny resemblance to mr.Bean
i always want to yawn because of breathlessness and when i try to take a deep breath i feel like there is something blocking me from taking a deepbreath.
guys if you're troubling with the same issue and you've been healed what can you do to prevent the breathlessness
I'd love to hear your thoughts guys.
this issue is very tiring 😷

How r u
U ok nowww??
Mustafa esmail how are you now??
I've been listening to Reiki music for more oxygen in my blood in my body and it's helping
Anyone have a clue with what’s wrong with me? Around 5 or more months ago I discovered I have a whistle sound that happens when I exhale on certain situation . The situations vary so much that it would take forever to explain but to keep it short it sometimes when I inhale deeply and I mean forcefully inhale then exhale I’ll hear it or if I’m resting then switch to exercising mildly I’ll sometimes will hear it on exhale . What’s odd is that when I go for a run The whistle goes away temporarily.
I’ve also noticed when laying on my back I feel very mild breathlessness and when I’m in my house/room I feel somewhat short of breath which I think is anxiety since I’ve been super anxious about whatever this is and when I leave my house and go somewhere I don’t feel breathless . I can’t go to the doctor for a reason that I’d like to not discuss.
I also keep fixating about it
I will share something helped me , I am running every day for 30 minutes , speed 7.4 , breathing deeply every step one inhalation for four steps , the exhalation for for steps .
Ask your doctor before doing that , and start increasing the speed starting from low speed , and increase day after day , until you find to your optimum goal
Been checked for heart and had multiple blood tests. They said it’s sleep apnea but it’s as if it’s happening in the day, so I can’t sleep before bed because of this. But sometimes it’s fine? Also have crazy amount of heart palpitations. It’s so draining, I wanna live a normal life.
Shauncheesychipsdavies I’m right there with you! I have heart palpitations and then it leads to an anxiety attack. I’ve had test done as well and everything comes back normal. It has to be from my anxiety. I’ve had a full on panic attack, thinking it was a heart attack. Went to the ER and the dr said it’s common in women and that it’s anxiety. I cried because I just want this anxiety to go away. To just feel normal.
@Raw Cienna yes i have thia all the time even now i am breathless and feeling like dying😩😩😲😲
Shauncheesychipsdavies do you still have this problem?
NickIsSick_ Yeah bro
@@Mufc4life1998 now i am not able to breathe
Thank you very helpful.
i dont know what is wrong with me i have really bad shortness of breath and i went to my doctor and she she my heart and lungs sound fine!! i do smoke pot and meth though but i excercise everyday eat right sleep right and am NOT over weight! any help is appreciated thanks in advance!
I have a pounding heart with sharp pains and sometimes palpitations. It happens really frequently even when I'm not stressed or anxious. It happens after small amount of physical exertion such as tying my shoes. I also out of nowhere have exaggerated inhaling. I can't go to the doctor because my mom thinks it's just stress. Even if it is stress (which I don't think it is) it's best to be safe than sorry. I used to have asthma when I was little so you would think my mom would be more concerned.😥
Get it checked once
Hello I think you need to add to your video that if at rest the sensation is worse and if at exertion it is better then it is probably pseudo dyspnea as a result of either acid reflux disease or yes, anxiety.
If acid reflux, continual reflux (silent reflux) can damage the nerve in the esophagus and result in false signals being sent to the brain resulting in the breathlessness. Treat the reflux allows the nerve / esophagus to heal and the patients symptoms go away rapidly. Suggest this because it happened / is happening to me and after a week on omeprazole I feel 80% better and hope to make a full recovery now I know it was not anxiety or another alarming problem.
Definitely: LPR (so-called "silent reflux") causes chronic breathlessness. Often times just treating the reflux with simple drugs like famotidine will cause the breathlessness to improve almost immediately.
Just recently I have been having shortness of breath. Even when I sit in the chair with them minutes I feel dizzy, nauseated, also having chest pain to the point where I would want to lay down and I would not get back up for hours. I've been like this for a few days now and I have already made a doctor's appointment for this week. But just by me describing how I feel and what's been happening, does it sound anything serious????

I have typhiod all the time I have short breath but x.ray blood test normal is it tiredness
What about sleep apnea and acid reflux. I tend to have a hard time taking a deep breath. when i wake up after 2-3 hours with the cpap mask i cannot refall asleep cause breathing is a bit uncomfortable.
So t his gives me insomnia. When i lay down breathing is worst.
Throught the day too i have sometimes an issue being able to get a satisfactory deep breath. Some its satisfactory but some i feel like a limit and then the need to breath again. Chronic now this 2 years.
I do a have a small belly though. Can it be too much caffeine too like 4-5 cups a day ? I did lung and heart tests 2 years ago and found nothing. Normal. I think when rarely i sleep 4-5 hours with cpap mask
my normal breathing returns.
Whats your take ?
Dear Nick,
If you are having problems with your sleep apnoea, we would say you should consult your doctor as they may be able to offer you a solution. In terms of caffeine intake, having 4 or more cups a day of a caffeinate drink, the Mayo Clinic considers that on the higher end of how much you should be drinking. Perhaps cutting down on caffeine could help you sleep better, however, it is always best to ask your doctor.
Best wishes
I'm having the exact same problems as you for two years now...been to hospital and the doctor told me it's anxiety but for two years now there's no improvement 😫😫

Make a habit of breathing in through the nose . Hand mudras such as crossing fingers are also effective. See also Marmas and Shin Jin Jyutsu.
Please look up Buteyko breathing if you are having this issue. It helped me.
what if your shortness of breath goes away when you workout, walk, or eat. Meaning I feel better after i workout and eat. I have had asthma all my life and take Advair and it works great but I find i am shortness of breath when i am relaxed. I have had this for like 5 years and the doctor thinks its anxiety, i also find it worse when the weather changes and gets very humid. Saying that when i workout even on a bad day i feel better. The doctor did a CT scan and EKG and they are normal. I workout 5 days a week and feel great most after I work out. It is when i am relaxed.Saying that i can do a 20mile bike ride and i feel great...so crazy.
Legit the exact same as me. I'm 16 and it gets pretty annoying
Damian Zillmann I am all so 16 and doctor keeps telling me it’s anxiety but I know for sure it’s not even though all tests came back normal, it’s so infuriating. Hope you are better now or finally got a diagnosis
john N I’m 17 years old. 18 in a few months, at rest I’m out of breath like just constantly want more air. I’m currently in bed feeling low on air, It’s worse when I think about it then sometimes i won’t think about it and I’m fine but then Boom it comes back to my head and I can’t breathe as normal.. I’m not anxious about it it’s more just annoying. I workout 5 times a week and I’m healthy on my BMI so I’m not heavy. Just average. Damn this is super annoying.
Josh I’m totally on the same page as you. I’m not that anxious, of course we all are a little bit, but this stupid thing just comes back stronger every time for no reason it’s so frustrating. And I can’t find what makes it better!
I have it pretty much 24/7 it’s hell and everyone thinks it’s just anxiety, I’m afraid I’ll drop dead at any moment. Did you ever figure out what was wrong?

Hi me too
Top Doctors UK I visited my doctor but. I wasn’t taken seriously
bro someone did magic on you
I’ve been having constant breathlessness or shortness of breath for almost 4 months. I also have this feeling of trapped air and needing to burp constantly and sometimes I throw up in my mouth. I have to clear my throat and cough a lot. I get this sensation of trapped air in my neck and under my chin. I’ve gotten dry mouth and super thick saliva it was like clear mucus. I think I might have acid reflux but I only ever gotten heart burn once and it was the first week I started feeling these symptoms. I started eating better and nothing is changing. Then I thought I had asthma or my acid reflux/Gerd is causing asthma idk I read that they can be connected. I’m so scared to go to the hospital especially now with corona and especially cause I feel like I won’t be a priority and they will just send me off saying it’s anxiety and give me some meds I don’t even need. Or do super scary testing and stick things where they don’t belong. I’m extremely squeamish and don’t handle pain well at all. This is literally causing me depression I cry almost everyday. It’s so hard to fall asleep too and have even gotten sleep paralysis twice. In the beginning this really messed with my mind and caused my heart rate to sky rocket I honestly thought I’d have a heart attack at 18. Now I know that was actually anxiety but I don’t think what I have is anxiety anymore. I feel like I’m dying slowly and nobody can help me
I have the same sintomas i sxare go to the hospital too😪😭😱🥺
Erika Molina are you feeling like you can’t get enough air? I’m going through the exact same thing :/
Hey I hope you're doing well I know this is kinda late but look up VCD Vocal Cord Disfunction. I've had that same tightness in my throat and chest and always thought it was asthma cause I was and still am constantly yawning to breathe in.
I came across VCD two days ago. I recommend you look it up so you can get a better understanding of what it is. I don't want to make you feel like I'm diagnosing any of you but I feel like I have all the symptoms related to this.

U ok now?
Sometimes i feel dizzy when i am singing. I think i have shortness from air. What is that?
Hello doctor can I get a reply... I AM literally feeling hell... I AM suffering from Breathlessness + tingling (hand, chest feel, uper lip, head and ears) at the same time and not able to understand what is happening to me... Every doctor I visit.. They don't even know what is going on.. They just gave me Medicines which doesn't do anything at all.... Can you plz help me there is too much weakness as well... Its just feel a kind of attack when it goes to its Extreme level 🙏🙏plz help
Dr gave me valium for anxietythat helped but when i have a attack i breath into a small paper bag till it goes away usually ten minutes
If anyone can relate lmk cuz I feel like I’m going mad. Had this about 2 years now around once or twice a month it’ll happen randomly. I am obviously breathing and I know I am I can kinda feel it, but at the same time it’s like when you have that feeling you need to cough at the back of your throat, but like really bad and it feels like I’m being chocked or something. But I know I’m breathing, it just makes me feel like I’m not and it gives me this aweful feeling that I have like 5 minutes straight then it fades. It’s weird I went to the doctors they said nothing but maybe anxiety. But it doesn’t seem like anxiety so I don’t think so. It’s not related to anything to do with my emotions it just happens randomly.
Caitlyn with a ‘Y’ right it’s happen to me sense 2 months like no oxygen passing by
Caitlyn with a ‘Y’ same, my mom bought me a relaxing tablet for anxiety, I started to feel better
Same, It's anxiety though.. even if you don't Think you are worrying about something, It can often just trigger Like tight chest, or fast breathing... Also another Recommendation... Don't drink A lot of caffeine, Beacuse that can trigger Those effects! But if you've been Checked. I'm sure ur respiratory system is fine. Had Mine checked multiple times, Been on ambulances And ended up just being an anxiety attack!
Clear Space i still have it, and i can't eat well because I always have to deep breath when eating and it's so annoying

I have adhd extremely bad and when I don’t take medication I can’t stop eating when I’m bored and I had blacked out and had eaten a lot and for the past 3 days I have almost passed out for how bad my breathing is please help me it scares me so much and I’m always trying to get as much as I can now
So I was on a bus and started having theses problems. It came all of a sudden. I werent thinking of breathing at all. After that bus ride I dont feel the same. I feel like a ton is on my chest. On time to time I feel light headed. I have breathing problems and those other symptoms on time to time. I had it for 2 days now. I am gasping for air. I hope it dissapears soon because I cant live like this. It feels like im sufocating and dying. Also tonight I had heart burn with it. I have had many illnesses in the past that were bad but this tops everything I had. Also I had have suffered with polypse in the nose in 2015. I have problems now an agian like swell ups when my nose is burning, a blocked nose and also toothic. This is different because my nose is fine but im just having these bad breathing problems. Sorry if I spelt anything wrong its 1 in the morning im looking to see if its anyway I can rid of this permantly.
Went to doctor everything is fine she told me to breath in through my nose and out through my mouth. When it happens. It has happend less now and feel much better. Its still annoying that I can get this sometime. I hope this info helps ppl out.
@@Hugo-BB how are you now??
@@Hugo-BB u okay now?
@@Hugo-BB how’s your breathing now??
@@romeoasserot7093 I went to the doctors it was a panic attack I was having at that time when I saw a doctor about it. Im actualy good now.
If any one has this experience please let me know
At the dentist i keep having problem
I can't keep mouth open for to long
And I couldn't breath I nearly fainted
My heart was beating so fast
I never forget that day ever
And happen today as well
I don't know why
I never had this problem
I think that's an anxiety attack
When I go to the dentist I tell them ahead of time that I may experience trouble breathing and will need to sit up straight til I catch my breath. I signal by tapping the arm of the dental chair, they stop working, I start breathing OK and they get back to work. I think it's a combination of the novocaine and being in the leaning back position as well as the normal anxiety associated with going to the dentist.
I have panic attacks and my back hurts when I got panic attacks breath became short
What is wrong with me
I feel the same. My back also hurts when I have shortness of breath.
Hi there!! I trust this finds you well :) I would like to interview you regarding your pneumonia. If you're comfortable with this please let me know and I will explain the reason for my study. Take care! Rimante :)

I've had shortness of breath for some time now (on and off). But my ECG came back normal. What should I do?
K S me too
Need to do a echo too may be to check the valves
How are you now??
How are you now?
@@daisyrespecia3192 how are you now??
what about throat tension when breathing fear arises, what is the connection to that?
I can breath fine I can deep breath fine and breath fine it’s jsut I’m a anxiety health dude and I I always convince myself I have it even though it’s normal
I’m *always* breathless at rest. I can’t do anything. I have anxiety but I’m not anxious about anything..
Same here I keep thinking I've got heart disease
same mine comes and goes
Same
I had a fever a feel days ago and now I'm shit scared about the Coronavirus. These couple of days I'm constantly paying attention to my breathing and sometimes I unconsciously stop breathing altogether, and this is making me feel like I can't breath!
I have recently started suffering breathlessness especially at night I have real fears of not waking up or can't seem to find peace with the shortness of breath .... a week ago I woke up with a panic attack that I couldn't breathe and was suffocating. I didn't know what I know now about staying calm etc so I ran to the window and started hyperventilating which I think has caused excess strain on my lungs coupled with the anxiety and fear has created a situation where I can't settle and sleep at night.... awful gone 3 days without sleep now
Hello, perhaps visiting a cardiologist will help. Alternatively, you could visit your GP to explain your symptoms and they may also refer you someone to help with panic attacks. Take care and kind regards, the TD team
Are you okay now?
How are you now liam??
Liam u okay now? Plz reply
U ok now?
And will it go away?
Do my heart and lungs have something to do with short of breath and I am losing weight,,,
after having pneumonia 2 years ago..I am now super conscious about the way I breathe to the point that I can't control it and it turns me to hyperventilate 😩😩 ughh it sucks
Hi there!! I trust this finds you well :) I would like to interview you regarding your pneumonia. If you're comfortable with this please let me know and I will explain the reason for my study. Take care! Rimante :)
Totally can relate to this! I had pneumonia about 5 years ago but now anytime I feel off (allergies or exercise) I become hyper fixated on my breathing.
@@mayramedina8535 oh I'm not the only who experience this😁
I advice you to sleep on stomack. It helped me to breathe fully and made my ribs and lungs stronger.
@@user-tn8nn9mb9k thanks for the advice
One day I ate hot Cheetos before bed and I had a bad stomach ache and heart burn and ever since I’ve had trouble breathing and chest pains
That ducks
I had a hypertensive criss after eating flaming hot Cheetos! Crazy you should say that because I’m sitting in the exact same spot where this happened to me a year and a half ago and I’m rarely ever here!! Yes! I ate a bag and not even a couple hours later I felt my throat closing in on me, I couldn’t swallow well or breath and my arms became painfully tingly and went to ER. They told me I was having a hypertensive crisis and gave me something to counteract it. Dangerous!!!
I get out of breath from cooking, washing clothes, shopping, and any other small activities. I’ve had heart test, lung test, chest X-rays and sleep study. All test come back fine except for sleep apnea. No local doctor has been able to fine out what is wrong with me. Any ideas?
I would say sleep apnea is causing all this
I’ve had shortness of breath for a while now all the time, they given me asthma inhalers which don’t help, and I’ve been tested for VCD which they said I didn’t have, I really need your help because I play sports and can’t continue like this. I just feel out of breath all the time and chest tightness, I’ve also had my heart tested which they said was fine?
What’s your take?
Thomas Kaya; Have you had an MRI/CAT scan? Full blood work? Perhaps an allergist along with a pulmonologist? Consult with a cardiologist?
what sports do you play??
SeaPeach soccer
Tamara A Howard I went to an allergist I also have had post mono for over a year if that effects it which I’m assuming
@@Thomas-bf7to from when did u start feeling like this? and also after which incident it started?
Clicked fast thinking it was mr bean
I feel a tad bit concerned about this. I was born with only one kidney so I am very likely to have kidney issues which may be causing my breathing issues..but I do have asthma do that may also be the issue
How are you now?
ruclips.net/video/_7-xjrDtVOY/видео.html
It could be from your stomach
My mom had one kidney. She didn't have kidney issues and loved to 94
Ive just started getting the breath you would after having a cry but i havent cryed .same breath after you would get after sobbing would this be caused by stress?

@@TopDoctorsUK thank you was just wondering peoples thoughts on it im sure its nothing thanks again 💕💕
Im suddenly out if the blueee....feel a heaviness on my chest...and it hurts a little if I breath to deeply or quickly...I'm scared
Yeah when I’m distracted I’m fine but when I’m bored and I am thinking about it I need to like yawn to catch my breath
Its so annoying! I feel like I constantly have to be up and doing things because If I sit down and relax, my body remembers and I can’t breathe again and I have to keep yawning
Ive had the same yawning problem for like 15 yrs. It sucks cause it's gotten in the way of so many things. So recently I started looking up videos on breathing techniques and I came across VCD Vocal Cord Disfunction. It's often mistaken for asthma but the thing is that your larynx closes up while you're trying to breathe in, so that's what causes you to have a tightening in your throat and chest. Although I did see in some of the videos that it is possible to have both asthma and VCD. But to be sure what it is you really have it says to see a pulmonologist to rule out asthma and have allergy test done also.
You should really look it up. I honestly cried when I found out there was such thing and that Im not the only one going through it.
@@ashdev862 I’ve heard of that too! I kind of pushed it to the side tho but I’ll take a look again!
@@Emmaimmed I think the issue is sometimes mental. I notice when I’m occupied I never have to think twice about breathing. However when my doctors check oxygen at yearly physicals or I’m bored and have nothing to think about, breathing becomes voluntary and yawning becomes necessary. I feel like a common misconception is that your lungs are communicating to your brain that they can’t breathe but a lot of times, it can be the other way around. Training my mind has helped me but if it’s chronic then you should definitely seek a medical professional
@@bwj_3 totally agree. But yeah it’s every second of every day for me unless I’m totally occupied :(
I catched a cold can that be the reason?
Yes it can.
i always have short, small breaths unless i put an effort into trying to get more oxygen. i constantly feel like there are chains wrapped tightly around my lungs and rib cage. i don’t know what it is. it causes me so much suffering and i’m always tired. it interferes so much with school. i also believe i am struggling with anxieties and major depressive disorder. help-?
sincerely, cLouded.
U ok noww??
H r u now??
I got some anxiety but this just started happening a couple days ago, i just feel like i can't get enough oxygen in but it kinda feels like my left side
Are you OK now
im feeling this right now cant breath normally what do i do
A&E
I'm having the same problem! I went to the doctors and they did an xray and blood test, and they said it was anxiety, but I'm 100 percent sure its not mental.
Allergies
SeaPeach that’s happening to me now, the doctors keep telling me it’s anxiety but I know myself more than anyone and I know that I am the least anxious people I know 😂 hope you are better or finally got a diagnosis
SeaPeach No just a list of other symptoms 😂
I have a wierd problem in which I have to take sudden deep breaths only when I aware that I am breathing, it feels like my lungs don't expand enough
Can anyone suggest me what to do?
It's happening from last night
Alhan Nawaz that’s what I’m dealing with now. I need help
@@Heat2023 try using an inhaler like Ventolin it helps relief this kind of situation for like 2-3 hrs
Ecitilopram 10mg plus alprazolam .25
along yuga regularly .....in our religion offering prayer is more superior than yuga.....
all these things keep u calm....and happy as ur adrenaline level will remain in range.
@@Dr-789 thank you doctor atif
I had already visited a physician he gave me greatum 500 and ascoril syrup along with nebulization for 3 days morning and evening
Also I do offer my daily prayers and now things are going on much better
Alhan Nawaz has it gone away?
Im experiencing shortness of breath, can’t sleep, can’t breath without thinking about the breath and i feel a burn in my chest and hurt Although my oxygen level is good. Any help?
When I exercise & play sports I have to stop after a few minutes I feel like I'm going to faint... & I panic..
But my lung tests come back fine.. I really am perplexed.
I wake up breathless every morning idk why
U ok now?
Mild sedative like cough syrup also causes very heavy sleep but breathing difficulties.

I need advice, I used to have asthma as a kid and now I’m 13 and haven’t had a problem with asthma in over a year and don’t even used a puffer anymore but for the past two days I’ve had random outbursts where I can’t breathe and it’s forced and my breathing is extremely fast and shallow and I don’t think it’s asthma but does anyone have an idea of what it could be?
Hello, if you previously had asthma, it is worth going back to see your doctor. Even if it's not asthma, it could be something else which they could help with. Tell your parents or guardian too.
I've been cleared by respiratory and cardio. Sent back to gp because they don't have answer they say its your weight. This started when I was very fit. Feels like GP don't listen. Still can't climb a hill.
Thanks from Pakistan
You're very welcome :)
Can anxiety cause shortness of breath for hours and even at night? And how to make it better? Feels like I’m going to pass out
yes it can. I have a history of anxiety and I've had my first panic attack 2 weeks ago and it was the only one I had for years. I've had shortness of breath since. It would sometimes hurt for me to breathe but I haven't experienced breathing pain for almost 2 weeks now. My breathing is slowing coming back to normal. I went to 6 different doctors about it and they all told me it was anxiety. Nothing was wrong with my lungs. So yes it probably is anxiety although if you have doubts see a doctor.
Addy 509 I did it’s on and off i see breathing exercises help a lot. I have chest X-rays and EKGS for my heart they found nothing. They say my lungs sound healthy so yeah all anxiety ..
Mines on and off too lol
