Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?
Lung Health | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (3356)Comment receiving replies
I am wondering if anyone else has a slight tightness or pressure in their chest alongside the SOB. I have no cough or wheeze . I also feel a bit of pain in my back but it could be muscular (carrying a heavy -backpqck everyday on walking commute). Unfortunately my anxiety over this is so bad. My blood work came back normal except for a slightly low RBC. I am focusing on a nutrient dense diet but am getting depressed and anxious over this situation .

I too am getting such bad anxiety over this issue too. I just want the SOB to be gone so badly.

I have shortness of breath, chest tightness in the middle of my chest, sometimes chest pain, but not always, upper back pain in the middle of my shoulder blades. All my bloodwork, heart, lung tests have been nornal... my rdw count was a bit low, ddimer elevated, and co2 just a tad high. I deal with this everyday... i am not hyperventilating like people do suggest.... no way...... my doctor is saying anxiety..... i have been doing the 4, 7, 8, breathing.. seems to help.... trying to stay hydrated.... i still feel back pain even if im not as sob. I have sleep apnea, and am 80 lbs overweight... i dont think its that though as i have been heavy a while now. Actually lost 30 lbs, quit smoking, no change really. You can private message me if u would like to chat. I also have facebook.
