please help short breath light headed

Hi, I'm a student of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicine.  I have learned about cases like this.  It is treatable with acupuncture and herbal medicine. My best advice to you is to find a good acupuncturist in your area. They will know how to treat you properly and help you restore your body into it's natural balance.

Hi HealingBear, It sounds like to me you are having either a panic attach or axiety attach. I feel that you should go see you reg. Dr. and tell him what you are feeling. Let him evaluate it and come up with a solution to help you when you start feeling like that. Good Luck.

I'm pretty positive that this is all mental-you are extremely anxious and having anxiety attacks, and that's why you feel like you can't breathe and your heart beat is so fast! Just try to calm yourself down...take deep breaths and think of your favorite thing to do that is relaxing...my sister has these same problems, has had all the same tests, and all it came down to is anxiety. If your anxiety is really bad, try talking to your doctor? He or she could help you through it! But I really wouldn't worry, since all the tests turned out well. You are fine! :) I'd just pay another visit to your doctor and then y'all can come up with a solution! :)

 

thanks, yeah went back to the doctor yesterday saying how much my head feels like its going to explode lately etc.. she has told me it all comes down to anxiety and need to work through how it all started etc to find my way through it.... sadly in my current state of mind i'm finding it hard to believe its just anxiety, i still keep goggling every symptom to try find out what is "wrong" with me!! from brain problems to heart issues...

I know exactly how you feel. I'm constantly anxious and light-headed. I was diagnosed with panic attacks and anxiety. My problems really all started when my dad passed away earlier this year. He was only 45 so it started freaking me out and makes me nervous about every little thing going on in my body. I worry myself sick sometimes then I can go a week or more feeling close to normal. The first time I had a panic attack, it woke me up in the middle of the night and I thought I was having a heart attack. Come to find out, I was perfectly fine physically. I was tested for all kinds of things, diabetes, thyroid problems, hypoglycemia, and nothing came back out of the ordinary. All the doctor could say was to eat better and exercise and it will help. (I'm overweight from having my first child, weight is hard to lose) They gave me celexa, which did't help at all...just made everything so much worse. I know it is hard not to think that there is something worse going on, I'm slightly paranoid about it...I think I may be a hypochondriac which doesn't help my anxiety at all. But you need to remember that you are healthy. If there was something seriously wrong, the doctors would have found it. It helps me a bit to think that way. I'm still really stressed and not completly myself. Sometimes I have no energy to get out of bed but I know that I can manage this and maybe one day it will resolve on it's own, like my doctor said could happen since my anxiety was most likely brought about by a traumatic experience. I;m just glad to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way and that on my really bad days that there is always tomorrow and hopefully it will be a good day. :)

I felt the same way for many many years I was a strong woman and couldnt understand why I couldnt figure out what was happening to me I had ALL the blood,urine and even Cat scans done. I began to pass out after my symptoms intensified I ended up going to a Cardiologist and it was discovered I had clogged Arteries and a leakage in my left ventrical so I wasnt getting enough oxygen to my brain they did an Angiogram cleared out the Arteries and I havent felt that way since!!! It was the dizziness that would come on all of a suddden especially in public places it was embarassing to because Id lose my balance then felt like I couldnt breath my heart would race to. Please get yourself checked it saved me from having a stroke

I have been feeling really lightheaded all day like I'm floating and can't focus. Feels like when I turn my head, my eyes need to catch up. Please help! What could it be?
