      But if my shortness of breath is preventing me from sleeping, I can't break free? I've been dealing with this for 2 weeks now and even went to the hospital but everything checked out but they didn't check my vitamin b or d levels. I started taking b vitamins, d, c, e for a couple days now with minimal improvement. Also my throat gets tight before I go to bed as well which I assume is anxiety from being nervous about my shortness of breath. The shortness of breath and throat tightness leads me to only getting 2-3 hours of sleep at night, but I can also take a 2-3 hour nap later in the day but I still have dark circles around my eyes and feel exhausted. During the night I often wake up to the feeling like im choking due to the throat tightness and feel numbess through my body so I have to sit down and take my short breaths until it goes away and I don't feel relaxed enough to sleep until the sun comes up.

      @@Username4453 If you have vocal cord dysfunction (VCD), your vocal cords don’t open all the way when you breathe in. This blocks your airways, and you may struggle to breathe. VCD is often misdiagnosed as asthma, which has similar symptoms.

      @@CelestialTrailblazer I had a CT scan and the only thing it showed was hyperinflated lungs with no signs of abnormalities. The neck tightness comes and goes and kicks into high gear at night it.
      I forgot to mention I also have a large 12x15mm pineal gland cyst which came up on the MRI, it's said they are benign but can cause neurological problems if they get too big. I put off surgery because I need better insurance and life insurance before I do that and I want to be 1000% sure thats the problem before I get my skull cut open.

      @@Username4453 That's terrible. It's so scary that something can just completely ruin someone's life so quickly. I hope things get better for you. I have MVP (mitral valve prolapse), Mitral regurgitation, Mild tricuspid regurgitation, Chest pain, Shortness of breath, Palpitations, GERD, Intestinal Metaplasia of Gastric cardia, Positive for asthma based on the pulmonary function test. Even though the doctor denies or confused about me having any asthma. I also have multiple pulmonary lung nodules based on the Chest CT which is like a cherry on top lol. Too many problems that I can't simply ignore. And I'm only 27 years old. No one in their 20's should be having heart or lung issues but I guess I'm just not so lucky. My cardiologist and my neurologist thinks Anxiety disorder is the cause for all my symptoms even though I clearly have problems in both my heart and lungs. My breathing issue started last year end of April as I was carrying heavy Poland Spring water cases while wearing double masks due to fear of catching cov!d. If I remember correctly, I was labor breathing and then I accidently took a really hard deep breath because I was exhausted and was out of breath carrying those heavy water cases while wearing double masks and running back and forth between the car and the front porch of my home.
      From then on I started to notice I can't take deep satisfactory breaths. I started to develop this urge to take deep breath to satisfy my air hunger. It felt like only 10% of air going in my lungs and 90% getting blocked by something.
      The only time I could take that deep satisfying breath was when my body is ready to take it. For me what I've noticed was that I have to wait 1 minute or 40 seconds and then I can take that deep breath. Otherwise, no matter how hard I try before that timeframe, It feels like the air gets blocked midway and unable to fill in the lungs.

    One other reason which is not physical but worth mentioning is anxiety and panic attacks. I’ve experienced this many times in my life. Stress can bring it on at times for me as well. This all causes a vicious cycle because the anxiety causes the feeling that you aren’t breathing right then you become more anxious and stressed then breathing sensation continues to feel worse. Snowball effect.

      @@theaguilarfamily1236 Yep. After contracting Covid I woke up unable to breathe and barely walk, I stumbled to my bathroom and just sat with my back against the wall trying to catch my breath. Took like 10 minutes of intense breathing to catch it and during that 10 mins I pissed myself.. My lungs are fine now but sometimes my brain will convince itself that the same situation is happening and I will pee myself a little bit before just forcing myself to take giant breahts and filling my body with oxygen. Also meditation has helped a lot.

      Just be aware of doctors telling you its all anxiety causing symptoms. In the medical field, they are taught to blame everything on anxiety after they fail to discover the root problem. I've been suffering from all sorts of problems such as shortness of breath, abnormal high pulse rate from slight exertion, dizziness, chest pains etc. for almost a year. Everything was blamed on anxiety and the doctors didn't even bother trying to look for the source of anxiety until I personally had to look into things myself and had to do specific tests to attempt at trying discover the root problem. After I did my chest CT, I discovered that I have multiple pulmonary lung nodules. After I did Endoscopy, I discovered chronic gastritis, Intestinal Metaplasia at the GE junction, and H.Pylori bacteria in my stomach. After I did the 14 day Holter Monitor examination of my Heart rate I discovered anomalies. All of these results are giving me clues about the source of all my symptoms including anxiety. What've learned after visiting multiple doctors is that when they do an initial checkup and fail to discover the problem they blame it on anxiety and gives you anxiety meds. They generally don't care about further investigation. You essentially have to do the investigation yourself. Otherwise, you'll be left with bunch of toxic anxiety/depression meds to take that may or may not get rid of the problem or simply mask a few symptoms temporarily. For me those anxiety meds only made things worse. Especially, my shortness of breath. After, the result of my CT scan of my chest revealed that I have multiple pulmonary nodules, I began to connect the dots and realized that my problem isn't just anxiety or anxiety causing my symptoms but its the other way around. Now, I wished it was just anxiety but unfortunately I have more deadly disease to worry about. All I can say from my experience is that the doctors can misdiagnose you and they're not always correct in their initial diagnosis.

      @@yungenvy436 Well, I live in NYC so the hospitals here are not up to the standards compared to the rest of the country. Also, the racism aspect is also a big factor in getting proper medical care here. When I first went to the ER first time complaining about my shortness of breath and abnormally high pulse rate of 150bpm, before even looking into my blood report or chest x-ray some random dude came in and told me its all anxiety and refused to listen to my side of the story. And then they simply sent me home. Later, when I went home and examined my blood report, I did see abnormal changes in my CPK levels, Neutrophils and Lymphocytes. Although, the chest x-ray didn't exactly show much abnormality other than mild hyperinflated lungs, I knew my lungs aren't working properly. So, I took the initiative and went to a pulmonologist and did a CT scan and discovered I have multiple pulmonary lung nodules. Then I did some research as to why these weren't detected from the chest x-ray. I discovered that chest x-rays can not detect a lot of things compared to a CT scan. I also did the pulmonary function test and discovered that I have almost half lung capacity.

    Don‘t forget about anxiety. Anxiety or panic attacks can cause shortness of breath too. For me personally it gets really hard to breathe when I start having a panic attack so I hyperventilate which isn’t good I know, or I try to take slow and deep breaths into the belly to avoid the hyperventilating but then I feel like suffocating and not getting enough air, I think that’s what you mean by air hunger because it really does feel like air hunger. Sometimes focusing on my breathing only makes it worse too because that’s all I can think about and I can’t switch to automatic breathing again. Most of the time (I don’t have panic attacks often but they’re still there) my problem is that no matter what I do and how I‘m breathing I can’t get enough air, idk if I really can’t or if it’s just a feeling and I‘m kind of overreacting because of the panicking. And I always breathe very shallow into my chest, which is normal when you’re scared but chest breathing is something I do tend to in general

    Interesting that he made this video. I've been doing absolutely amazing on keto since starting it last year. Lost 30 pounds, my physical fitness is like it was when I was in high school. Running two to three miles at a time, doing lots of push ups, pull ups etc. Felt mostly consistently great for over a year.
    In July of this year however, I started having shortness of breath, panic attacks, hypoglycemic brain fog type symptoms. Turned out I had walking pneumonia. Had to go on Doxycycline. Symptoms improved but I'm still fighting the shortness of breath which comes and goes.
    I'm assuming it's adrenal fatigue from the panic attacks. I'm trying all sorts of things to lessen it which seem to help like cbd oil, celery juice, nutritional yeast etc. I wonder, could the walking pneumonia have come from wearing a mask? Is the shortness of breath coming from something outside of myself like 5g maybe?
    It's just strange that I was doing so well for so long and then since July I can't quite get back to where I was. Maybe my adrenals are just taking a long time to reset. I don't always get the greatest sleep but I'm trying. Anyone else have similar experiences?

    • @sopranosfan11
      @sopranosfan11 4 роки тому +10

      Update: It seems I may have developed asthma or exercise induced asthma from having walking pneumonia twice. I was prescribed an Albuterol inhaler and felt an almost instant relief and it seems to be getting better as the days go by. Upon using the inhaler I felt a tremendous relief from brain fog as well. All health tests I've done indicate I'm healthy and possibly in the above average range. Have been able to increase my exercise regimen back to where it was before the walking pneumonia. I still have to wonder though where the mycoplasma pneumonia came from. I have seen reports indicating that masks can cause bacterial pneumonia.

      @@sopranosfan11 I have also started having shortness of breath recently although no pneumonia found and lungs are fine but keto diet really messed me up in several ways, I lost 30 pounds and blood sugar came to almost normal but as the doc mentioned here metformin can cause this issue. I am taking vitamins, inhaler and doing breathing exercise yet still the biggest issue is the cold my chest gets filled with cold very quickly which then flares my lungs. I am just curious did you had the same issue and how is your recovery going?

      I fasted for a week after I experienced gastrointestinal issues that lead to bleeding but was a 1 time event. On the 7th day I went to bed really late with a stuffy nose thinking nothing of it and awoke to full body numbness that lasted over an hour and led me to hospital but everything came back negative. They dismissed me claiming the problem was Parathesia/unknown but ever since then I've had shortness of breath and trouble sleeping due to it and I get throat tightness before going to bed further hampering my ability to sleep and awake feeling like I can't breathe. I also have a chronic Post Nasal Drip that has me hacking up phlem. The most I've slept is 3hrs at a time and this has been going on for 2 weeks. I'm taking a b1 complex, d3+k2, c, e tocotrienols, OregaRESP, using a salt lamp, air purifier, nose spray, trying to think positively and praying but it's a battle.

I do however have digestive issues and lot of gas. I don't have my gallbladder anymore and I also had a complete hysterectomy. I do get cramps sometimes as well in my leg muscles and sometimes my face, which started ever since I had bells palsy. I drink apple cider and fresh lemons in a glass of water everyday before eating anything. I take vitamins like D3.10,000 MG
    ZINC 15 MG
    MAGNESIUM 400MG
    VIT...E 100MG
    VITAMIN... C 500MG

    B COMPLEX 100MG
    CO Q10 100MG. I ALSO TAKE A DIGESTIVE PILL WITH BILE SALTS
    OMEGA...KRILL OIL.
    Am I on the right track, is there anything else that I should take or stop taking? WE EAT HEALTHY, I HAVE half of AVOCADO everyday 2 eggs 3 time a week. Eat one meal a day. So I don't know what I should do for my digestion.and gas. THANKYOU IN ADVANCE.FOR A REPLY!
