Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’ve been experiencing this for 6 weeks now. I’m fine sleeping and when I’m busy doing things like working or other. I’ve researched reasons why and really couldn’t figure it out. I do have GERD but I’ve had it for years. I’ve never thought I had anxiety at all. I’m very strong minded but I do have to except it’s in my mind only. I’m 51 and very healthy. Exercise everyday and eat healthy. Thank you again
My SOB/air hunger started one day before I had a positive test for Covid.I figured it was a respiratory virus right? So that made sense. All Covid symptoms went away in around ten days, except the air hunger. For the next year, 3 doctors told me it was anxiety. I disagreed and insisted I had covid and now long covid. They all wanted to prescribe anti anxiety meds, which I rejected. I tried breathing, yoga, accupuncture, massage, elimination of sugar, extra water, breathing into a fan, walking fast, not walking, calming you tube videos, had every single heart and lung test available (showed nothing) before I finally got on Prozac. It's been about a year and I'm much better. I don't find my mind constantly dwelling on it, rather rare now. I'd like to get off the meds but honestly I'm afraid to. Just the thought that it might return already means that my thinking/obsessing would take over. Thanks for your thoughts.
