    This was very useful AND timely. I’m looking after an elderly man and was trying to figure out which of these might be the cause of his shortness of breath and very swollen ankles. I figured on the last one edema and he’s just been taken to hospital and I’m waiting on test results. Thank you very much. ❤

    I’ve been having shortness of breath for almost 9 months now. So basically I get a strong urge to take a deep breathe every 20-30 seconds, sometimes I get it and sometimes I don’t, it’s really satisfying when I do and it’s really frustrating when I don’t, I get really bad anxiety from it, I go all day either trying to fight the urge or trying to get a good deep breath. I’ve gone to the ER 3 times this year cuz it felt like i was suffocating but they discharged me within hours. Some days are bad and some days are better, it’s kinda hard predict. My doctor has ruled out asthma, copd and allergies, so I have appointments with a heart specialist, a stomach specialist cuz my doctor thinks it might be GERD related and I have to do sleep studies because my breathing issue is affecting my sleep significantly. I’ve noticed a lot of people been having breathing problems lately, I wonder if it’s related to Covid or the vaccines or both. If anyone can shed some light on what’s going on with me I would really appreciate it. I’m 31 years old .

    Even typing this message is difficult but I'll try,,I have this recent experience at night from exactly the moment the sky goes black,,I start to feel shortness it begins so slow then as night goes by it keeps getting difficult and difficult am struggling to breathe and it's so painful as my I can feel pain on the sides of my chest it's like am overworking my lungs and diaphragm. I can't even feel my nose breathing so am kindah combining mouth and nose both of them for inhale and exhale. I didn't knew that you can reach a point to start fighting for oxygen. Today is on Friday 10:55pm day two of the experience on yesterday Thursday I experienced this I couldn't even sleep so I stayed all night long but at exactly 7am it automatically stop and I went back to normal breathing and everything seemed fine. Now exact it started getting dark night it re-emerge and I tell you it's a struggle fuzzy feeling that am even afraid to sleep to not to wake up tomorrow. I just hope I'll get back to normalcy. I decided to Google to see what's the problem but I wanted clarity so I had to check on UA-cam that's why I came across this video, I live alone,, lemme try listen Taylor Swift playlist because I have a long night to go

      I can relate with you. I have the same problem minus chest pain. As soon as it is midnight or early hours of dawn, i became breathless. Both my nose take the air but it seems like it doesn't reach my lungs. I have to take breath through my mouth, then only it reaches my lungs. During rainy dark night it is worse. Had rush to hospital two times at mid night. The emergency doctor on exams found my lungs, heart, BP, oxygen level etc. all normal. On my quire he said its my psychological thinking and may be due to anxiety. Have ask me to relax and try to breath normally without thinking about breathlessness. He couldn't get it what I am going through. I am afraid to sleep now at night and go to bed at morning. This is effecting my daily work. Do you get any solution for the problem. I Started doing breathing exercises and Yoga for relaxation and taking anxiety medicine.

    some nights when I fall to sleep my heart stops and it's like when you're in a deep sleep and feel like you are falling in the dream, and you are woken up instantly you wake up but your head loses strength to be up so it falls forward like you were actually falling. it's really scary. One night I stopped breathing for about 10 minutes and when I started breathing again I got a instant headache from loss of air. .. Today I had it in the night, my chest was real tight that every breath I took had to be by force and it hurt very bad. I'm 23

    When I get shortage of breath I also cannot talk without miles length gaps between each word. I can't eat my food at lunch times because when I swallow it feels like hard work or that the air has gone. My shortage of breath is so bad that I could stop breathing just like that and die, painlessly. Because when I stop forcing the air in my lungs I am not in pain, and I don't feel alive though I am sitting on my bed with my eyes open. It's very scary.

    Hi. Is shortness of breath the feeling of needing more air and oxygen ?
    what if one doesn't have that symptom but all of a sudden, you feel air being shuffed out of your lungs many times a day for no reason. Doesn't feel like palpitations neither.
    And one is just sitting and talking and not stressed physically or emotionally at the moment. Plus EKG is normal. thx

    I have been suffering from shortness of breath for last few months. It feels that my throat is blocked and I feel discomfort while breathing. It doesn't create pressure in my lung or chest that much but it seems that air doesn't flow well through nose and throat. But again, it is also associated with restlessness, weakness and dizziness in some occasion. I always take adequate water and food. What can be the reasons of this physical condition and what can I do now?

I am not sure it’s because I am sick or it’s because there is something wrong with me. I went to the ER and they did a heart test on me and it came out clear also they ran tests on me and did a X-ray of my lungs and everything seems fine. The way I feel is I have this fluttering sensation in my back going towards my chest to my throat and I burp after but no one knows what is caused it.
