Stomach tightness, cannot fulfill a breath

I have just one ? For all the replier's.. how many of you are currently using meth/ice/dope ect..? I ask this because I go through n have the same pains/symptoms as most of you.. short breathes that cause me to have to breath open mouthed n can't through nose, nasal passage n throat swelling/restriction, bad abdominal pain on my left side under my rib.. only time this happens is while I'm under the influence of meth.. poor dieting, hard time digesting food, and anxiety caused by rapid heart rate n constant lack of sleep.. figured I would share in hopes that it helps someone

Hi .. i am 28 years old . i have had like this symptom ... now i treating the anxiety but not yet to treat the stomach

I am now going to be 65 years old and suffer through many of these symptoms and then some. I use to be on Effexior antidepressants and since I came off of them around 8 years ago my body has shut down. I am wondering if this is all in the nervous system that has affected me physically. I have been to Dr's over and over with many tests. They found nothing that can justify the way I feel. I even went to a Dr. who leans more towards natural supplements and that didn't even help me. I really believe the Effexior had such a traumatic experience in my body. The Dr. prescribed this medicine not for depression but for low energy. This medicine has destroyed me and would advise no one to take it. I pray everyday over myself and ask the Lord to heal me. God bless you all.

I also like all of you started to have symptoms that were very very scary.  I noticed that after eating,  shortly after felt like I couldn't breathe.  I will try to expand my chest with a full breath but found I could not do it, this lead to me avoiding to eat and or avoiding going out to eat at restaurants for I fear if I felt unable to breathe everyone will look at me and thus increase my anxiety. Because oh yes not being able to breathe will lead to me having anxiety and a feeling of impending doom thinking I was going to die due to lack of oxygen.  I was experiencing this for 3 weeks then I took a moment and went to the being that I feel has all the capability of helping me and figure out this condition---GOD, I prayed for clarity and since, I have done a few things through His insights that have helped me and I would like to share them with you, I noticed that drinking a cup of water with a yellow lemon squeezed into it every morning before meals helped, also drinking chamomile, mint or fennel tea after meals helped, also drinking Organic apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon in 1 bottle of water throughout the day helped, taking garlic pills helped ( garlique purchased at a natural food store).  I usually try a combination of 3 of these per day and have noted that I no longer get short of breath, and or have severe indigestion ( meaning burping constantly through out day ).  I thank God for answering my prayer for I was feeling depressed thinking this will be how I must live like the rest of my life.  Well good luck to all of you, hope this can help, and remember God loves you !

Too many "i have the same problem"s and not enough solutions PLASTERED all over the internet. People.. The fact that you have the same problem doesnt help anyone. I had this problem for years as well and ive completely gotten rid of it. Gluten sensitivity is new to the medical world, and is almost always looked over. New studies have shown a direct correlation between gluten sensitivity/celiac disease and asthma, reflux disease, bloating, and other problems described here. Try eleminating gluten from your diet, i almost guarantee it will work!!

HELPS... NO ONE

I'm only 13 and i started having that same problem after i started middle school. From what i read it just says that i have anxiety but it getting to hard to live like this and it is starting to hurt to breath. I'm hoping it is only anxiety

The book 'Hyperventilation Syndrome' by Dinah Bradley was useful for me.

i have had the same symptoms for about 4 years as thse  described . it started when i had cardiac bypass surgery. All tests were negative of course Docs blew it off called it anexiety. Recently i have been researching the base cause to the breating problems for al of us us and it is the bloating whigh can trigger all kinds of fear etc. I have become convinced that the underlying cause is called ascites which is fluid in the abdominal cavith that can press on the diaphram and cause  the  feeling of  constriction. I urge all wh have posted here to do your own research as i am just beginning mine bue it seems to be the answere we have all been looking for . I hope this helps i know how awful it is to live with this stuff and your doc wil never think of it. 

I have all the same symptoms, many tests and no one can find anything wrong.  Of course they all want to say Anxiety just so they can label it but I will not take xanax or or depression meds becuse I dont feel like I have anxiety.  Whenever I eat its hard to breath, feels like something sitting on my chest, like I cant get enough oxygen, yet I know I am breathing.  I am not sure if this could be a food allegy or related to gerd.  Sure we all get panic attacks after going through all these symptoms and not knowing whats wrong.  I want to try an all organic diet but for me that is hard to do. Maybe soy  or msg sensitivety? Maybe ulcer? I have had allergy skin test and nothing shows up.  But I am convienced it has something to do with food.  Hope we all can feel better soon.

Actually i have celiac disease it does all of it and worse

Hello, I've had the same problems for a food while. I'm a 24 year old male in "working condition". I say that bc I don't really work out or excersize much but I work hard everyday at my job and it can be a fair bit physical sometimes. I couldn't breathe after eating most of the time and I smoked cigarettes everyday. I changed my diet completely going from fast foods and large fatty meals to lighter more healthy meals in less quantity and more often during the day. I completely quit smoking. It worked for me. I also have really started to concentrate on breathing deeply in and out all the way. Trying not tofocus on heart rate or shallowness of breath will help you keep your mind clear and focused on life. If all the test come back negative then your only other explaination is stress/anxiety/panic situation. Once you except the fact that its not going to kill you and its only an uncomfortable feeling you can easily overcome it. Realize that your mind is a very powerful thing and thw more you think about it the more likely it is to come true. You can influence your subcontious mind with overpowering and panicked thoughts creating a panic or anxiety ridden state. Clear your mind and focus on breathing all the way out and in and know it will be over soon and you'll find it much easier to cope with.

You poor thing. I get this too..24.7 !! I've stopped alot of things. I can't get a deep breathe.. or I feel like I'm not breathing right. Or something is sitting on my chest..so annoying. I'm 27 female. Stopped working too... my career. Horrible :(

Ellen i am a christian with same symptoms,,its hell..did u get an answer to your problems

ask your doctor to give you a dose of prednisone to see if you have any inflammation in your lungs or bronchial tubes. it could also be inflammation in the spine or other part of the body . when I take it , it helps a lot and since then they found a pinched nerve .
