Weird Breathing Symptom Help!!
Posted: 09-24-05 00:55am

I have had anxiety for years and it went away for 6 years.
Lately I am having this weird lung thing going on.
I m not hyperventilating I know very well what that is!

It feels like when I inhale the air going in just stops and I get a weird funny tingling feeling in my lungs. It happens alot at night when I am laying down. Then the panic really sets in and I am ready to go the the er!
I still exercise and gfeel very healthy. I just feel like there is something weird in my chest almost like some sort of lung spasm??????

Any ideas???

Go and see your local gp. It could be an infection in the lungs, a nerve thing, it could also be nothing. Its better to be safe than sorry. I was having real trouble breathing one day and ithurt to eay so I went to the doctors thinking its just anxiety again and found out I had an inflamed trachea (the pipe we breather through). I was prescrived something to help the swelling and was better in 2 to 3 days.

I went to the hospital today it was so bad. I tried to make appointment with my dr they told me late october!
I had all of the tests done! Blood, ekg, you name it. All good. I hae an appontment with a pulmonologist thursday.
This definitely isn't anxiety. It sure is causing me to panic again though!
If it is anxiety it's a brand new sympton ive never had.

My lungs kind of hurt some days though.

Remember don't panic. I went though a problem with breathing like you are. I was diagnosed with asthma. Just try not to dwell on it too much. It usually makes your symptoms worse if you are constantly thinking about it. I should listen too my own advise, because I am having some serious panic issues!
