Difficult time breathing + other symptoms Posted: 11-14-07 01:44am
Similar post to the other one. The other
one is just so huge and I have my own
issues.
For the past month, I am having a
difficult time breathing. I normally have
anxiety but haven't had any lately. This
is really not anxiety-related. I also have
extreme dizziness, nausea at times,
sometimes headaches (today was a killer).
I have a little cough when I can't breathe
at all. I don't wheeze nor do I cough up
anything. I moved to this state about 5
months ago. I went to the doctors and my
heart "sounds" alright (just did a brief
listen) and my lungs are clear. He gave me
an asthma inhaler and it doesn't seem to
work anymore. I have only used it a few
times and got it last week. At the doctors
office, it worked a little. The next day,
it worked slightly. Now it really doesn't
seem to work. I had asthma as a child and
this just seems so different.
I can't even walk up a flight of stairs
without feeling extremely winded. This
weekend, I walked up three flights of
stairs and it took me about 15 minutes to
catch my breath. When I have to walk
quickly to get my phone, it takes me about
2 minutes to recover. I just had my second
baby (4 months ago).
The doctor initially stated that it's
probably just allergies. I find it hard to
believe I am allergic to something this
much. Does anyone else have allergies with
these symptoms. I am wondering if I
recently developed an allergy to
something.

Have you suffered from severe nasal
congestion lately?
Do you have stuffy nose, itchy nose and
throat, mucus production?
When do you usually cough?
Is your asthma properly controlled with
meds?

Maybe you could work with a specialist on
a stress test. This doesn't seem normal.
