Hey, I m 20 yo,forever I ve always felt somethings was wrong with me that was probably from my anxiety. Heart palpitations and sometimes even crazy attacks where my heart would beat irregularly out of control(not fast but just weird beats)for like 3 seconds. I figured those were symptoms from anxiety after going to get checked out they tell me nothing seems wrong heart rhythm is ok but if I want to I can take beta blockers. I m obviously not gonna take it since that s not the problem then. Then I would feel relief for a little then the same discomfort would come right back. Before I could deal with it but now it s literally at a point where it s killing me and putting my life on major hold. My breathing all of a sudden went bad on me I don t know how to describe it but it s like I breathe in but I don t feel air going in my lungs. I m always laboring breathing. Sense of smell has decreased big time. I don t feel like I m getting deep breathes. I obviously started doing research and after a while I found out about lymph nodes and discovered them under my arm, armpit, throat, and under my collarbones and that was enough I went in again they did blood tests, chest X-ray, urine sample, ultrasound of my lymph nodes and everything came out fine. Besides EBV Evstein Barr virus which they told me is common. I mean that s good to hear but I still have a problem. Everyone is gonna say it s anxiety but I had anxiety before and it has never made me stop playing basketball, exercise, or do anything physical. Throughout the day I will have heavy long burps when I m not even eating which relieves me at the moment but it collects air again.Burping gives me the feel of actual air getting to my lungs so those passages might have something to do with my problem. I really need help. I might have a couple things combined causing this idk but some weird things I discovered are when I m the pool which I can t do anymore If I put my chest in the water it makes it extremely hard to breathe. When I m in a car sitting I tend to lean on one side and sit in weird positions to deal with how I m feeling. If anyone can help you have no idea how much it would mean to me. I feel like it has something to do with my throat right at my collarbone line just something doesn t feel right. No pain, no hoarseness, no trouble swallowing but something feels wrong like no air passing. I m on a nasal spray but that s not doing anything so far. Every appointment I make is either a week or months from now. I can t take it I need help and they don t care they schedule me even though I feel as if I can t wait that long I need help. Thanks
