Yea Ik and yes I’m also looking forward to that appointment hopefully they can atleast give me peace of mind I understand I’m probably not dying but I’m going to maybe push the doctors a little bit to maybe kinda look further into this because I’m sure we can all agree that it shouldn’t be a struggle everyday to have to fight for ur breath but yea last night I slept pretty good and my anxiety meds do help to a point but I just wanna be over this I also noticed I get winded doing regular activities that I used to do maybe we are all experiencing some kind of new sickness? Idk but I’m going to try my best And ask a million questions at the doctor just maybe there is something they are missing in our blood work? I hate to nag the docs but this is a scary thing to go through feeling like you can’t breathe is not normal at all guys and I feel so bad for everyone on this post cause Ik exactly what you are all going through hopefully I can get us some closure at this appointment I just really know this isn’t anxiety I only say that cause wouldn’t I have felt like this before? Because I’ve had anxiety all my life and I managed that pretty well I never needed a medication to help me thru it but I noticed The breathing spells come and go like rn as I type this I’m fine I’m able to breathe ok and other times it’s harder

@kalebmatthew445- Hi Matthew- You are asking wonderful questions and asking your doctors questions is not nagging. When I bug my husband, that's nagging. None of us want this and if the world were a perfect place we wouldn't have this. But we do and we have to learn to cope if need be. I know it feels particularly bad and maybe some things don't seem logical. Somethings in science only takes a minuscule amount of change to affect another change. Let's take an example like global warming. Because of an increase of Co2 in our atmosphere, the earth has warmed just a degree or so and look at all the changes it's created. Something in your body changed too to cause this, it could be your Co2 or something else that has changed the acidity in your blood.
It's also very difficult for us to self-measure for anxiety levels. I'm a pretty hyper person and I don't realize it a lot of times, even when I think that I am calm, so if your anxiety level has increased you might not be aware of it and it might not have happened before.
Please try and be patient with this. It may take some time to find an answer or time to learn to control it.
I know that this is extremely troublesome and frustrating because there aren't any easy answers and I feel very badly for you. You are taking positive steps to find answers. May I suggest writing your list of questions and symptoms down so that you don't forget anything when you go to the doctors?
