About a week ago, I had just started eating, when I felt so stuffed I couldn't breathe. It took almost an hour until I felt comfortable again. But every time I tried to eat, the same thing kept happening. The next day I couldn't walk up a flight of steps. I felt like my lungs weren't opening enough to let me take a deep breath. The next day I felt like a bronchitis type of pain when I breathed regularly. (That part is on and off.) Now the breathing trouble is constant. I went to my doctor, who said he hears asthma. He gave me an inhaler. That night, my mother forced me to eat, since I hadn't eaten much in 3 days. I started gasping, the inhaler did not work, and I got very lightheaded. I went to 4 other doctors. Although it's an effort to breathe almost full time, no one else heard anything. One other doctor is sure this is a panic attack. This does not come with any worrying, no heart palpitations, no sweating, and my life couldn't be better. I'm having a hard time believing it could be anxiety, but no one knows what else it could be. Does this sound like an anxiety disorder?
