Hi. I am a 19 yr old college student. I am in decent health - i run, lift weights, etc. Over the past 6 months i have had this strange feeling (mostly noticeable at night) were I get this sort of pressured feeling in my neck accompanied by a difficulty in breathing when lying on my back (not inability to breathe, but just kind of uncomfortable). it isn't permanent, and seems to come and go - ive had streches of 1-2 weeks were it isnt present and then it will come back for another 1-2 weeks off and on throughout the day. another thing i have noticed is that I get a "fluttering" feeling in my chest every once in a while (by that I mean like a handful of times a week so its hopefully nothing). I do NOT get any shortness of breathe though; it doesn't affect my breathing at all unless i lie on my back (and even then i can still breathe it just feels funny).

i once overdosed on caffeine pretty badly and maybe that messed me up somehow idk lol. I believe I also may have experienced a few panic attacks in combination with those symtoms like once or twice (i basically just started freaking out for no reason and my heart started facing). i guess i would say i am a pretty stressed out person in general trying to balance school and other c**p i have to do.

anyways, if someone knows whats up that would be cool. i told my mom about this last summer and we went to the doc's and he said it was allergies and that my heart was healthy but they didnt really do any tests in depth. i really dont think it is allergies cus its now winter (i live in michigan so its cold and thers nothing growing to be allergic too) and i am about the same as i was in the summer.
