What Causes Loss Of Breath With Sneezing?

I am experiencing loss of breath and tend to panic because of it. Have been sneezing a lot. No cold or flu. Have been checked for diabetes, lung xray ok, thyroid ok, blood pressure slightly up but on medication for this, on medication for anxiety, stressful job but has been for over 20 years, cholesterol slightly up, go to chiropractor for bad back, fatigue. Due to have tests for lung capacity eg possible asthma. On list for check of heart but have a history of heart disease.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Anxiety and panic disorder appear more in your case due to stressful life.
But better to get done PFT ( pulmonary function test ) to rule out asthma.
Also get done ecg to rule out cardiac cause.
If both are normal then no need to worry much .
You are having anxiety and panic disorder mostly.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
