I’m
So sorry you’re going through all of these things. Sometimes it seems overwhelming. But it will get better. I too suffer with anxiety agoraphobia and other health issues. Have you had a pulmonary function test for sob? I have. Also. I have anemia. Nit severe. But I get shortness of breath from that. A winded feeling. I’m now on iron supplements and vitamin c for that. Have you had a good blood work up?cbc? Etc?

Hi there! Sorry for the late response.

I am so sorry to hear you are also having some of the same issues. Anxiety is no joke. Agoraphobia too. I would suggest The Anxious Truth podcast and/or The Panic Attack Workbook by David Carbonell. I think he has written books after that book as well.

I did a Pulmonary Function Test and was told I have "early onset/light asthma" but they determined I might not have an issue because inhalers do nothing for me and scans/examinations show my breathing is normal. The PFT showed my NO was 18 and its supposed to be under 16, but I was told anxiety could caused a false positive when the test shows such a light form of asthma.

I have had low iron but wasn't anemic. Had to get iron injections. Last test my iron levels were actually on the higher end.

I have had bloodwork done many times. There were some things that were higher or lower but overall none were deemed significant.
