Yes I have seen many doctors. I’m currently at Pritikin ... you can look it up. It’s a health and wellness center to help individuals with specific issues such as weight , hi cholesterol, bad eating habits ....... I am 31 years of age and have been dealing with this since age 19. I was laying on my floor painting a picture and took a breath in and it was never there same since that day. I couldn’t get a full breathe ... The day it happened I spoke to my mom about it and just tried to ignore it ... over the weeks it progressed. I went to my first doc ... he told me it was anxiety .. he put me on Xanax and klonopins (he lost his license) I. WAs acared of pills and didn’t like the way they made me feel so my mom would half them and give them to me as needed ... but it never helped with the breathing .... I stopped it then went to asthma doc...he said I had COPD!! Which I later ruled out ... he put me on ADVAIR 500/50 ... it helped for a little while ... I lost insurance couldn’t afford ... then years later when I got insurance again I tried advair 250/50 ... I took my first puff in and my lungs felt like they froze over! I started seeing sparklies every where and held my chest until I could breath normal again.... needless to say I haven’t touched that since! A few months went by I just tried to handle on my own went to my next doc ... he said it was anxiety and put me on Xanax ... told me to half them (blue) then peaches .... this worked ! It was a miracle drug ... problem went away for a while... moved to another state... doctors make u see a psychiatrist in order to get them there. I could never get appt bc the wait was so long and I had to leave for Miami for work... now I am here and can’t breathe for CRAP... but trying so so so hard to cope ... it brings me to tears I’m so so sick of this ... I work out 4-6 days a week here I eat extremely clean.. the food is fresh not processed, cooked to order , no meat unless bison or fish ... no butter no additives and mostly vegetable and fruit based ... I eat three times a day. We have therapy sessions twice a week in group and singles ... I do steam room and sauna and ice baths .... I do yoga ...the only thing that can help is in yoga (BELLY breathing) which is EXTREMELY HARD TO GET INTO when u have this problem but when you do ,,, it makes a difference for that TIME BEING .... I meet with the yoga instructor today and tomorrow to see if she can help me ... she says she has helped others with same problem ....

My personal opinion is that somewhere in the beginning of this my vagus nervous system bc unhinged from my normal breathing patterns ... maybe I shallow breathe constantly and then want a big breathe and bc I don’t know how to properly breath anymore ... I won’t be satisfied .... I do catch myself holding my breath ALOT! .. my mom did that and grandma but they never had breathing problems ..... my dad and Aunt however had the same breathing problem I had. My aunts got better after her 50s ... my dad didn’t make it past 54
