Depression and panic attacks for the last two years. Shortness of breath even when not having a panic attack
-
Hello, I'm a 35-year-old female. I have been having anxiety and some depression for about two years now. I understand everything that everybody on here is going through. I started back on my meds almost 3 weeks ago. I can just be sitting there on my bed and start getting shortness of breath, even if I'm not having an anxiety attack. I've been to the doctor so many times because of my panicking. I've had Xrays, EKGs, and lots of blood work done,& the doctors tell me that I'm healthy. My psychiatrist told me that I think about breathing too much and that it's just in my head, but it scares me. Does anybody else have that same problem? I just want to know that I'm not the only one going through this!

@minipaliwal You're not the only one going through this. I too have been to the ER several doctor's bloodwork, EKG, x-rays that have all come back normal. I also get shortness of breath and feel like I can't breathe at times. I know it's hard but just try to be patient, it will get better, it just takes time to balance the "imbalance" in your brain. Good luck!
