What Is The Treatment For Breathlessness?

Approx a month or so ago the day after intercourse started to get very painful burning during urination and need to go but either can t or just a little, pains and twinges and pinching feeling all in vagina area. That went away but started to get a little diarrhoea, intense hunger and thirst (only 2 days or so) but still thirst, then shifting pains and cramps all around torso from under ribs all the way down to pubic area. Ongoing waves of cramping pains and waves of intense nausea that improves after food, but very little appetite and feel full after very little, I probably average 600 calories a day in food, (although I do drink wine daily and some drugs, cocaine, and occasional valium or a spliff.) A couple of times since the burning weeing Ive had intense heartburn and constant burping which is much less frequent now, and gas. Now lower back pain has started, again in waves. Fatigue has been majorly noticeable, and equally insomnia, which I have always had but its different now - I may not sleep for 4 days then sleep 17 hours. I never usually sleep more than 4 hours at best even after not sleeping a few days so this is unusual. I started taking Gedarel for about 6 or 7 weeks although inconsistently (due to side effects) of constant nausea and banging headaches (never ever usually get a headache) but had intercourse frequently until stopping it about a month ago and no intercourse since. Had full sexual health screen in july - all clear and had same partner since although he had 2 other partners whilst on a break. I cant say when last proper period was due to the interruption with the gedarel which i tried to run 2 packs , but did have a very light 1 and a half to 2 day bleed approx 25th nov, about 2 weeks after stopping. Had a few headaches and muscle aches since, but not from exercise as I m now finding myself breathless after very short exercise, previously I was cycling 10-20 miles a day and could run 5km no probs. Now I m shallow breathing and breathless after a flight of stairs. I do get very anxious and panicked and lately depressed/lethargic with major mood swings, my psychiatrist has given me Serlain, however I have not taken any yet due to feeling so strange of late. I was in therapy in august/september for anxiety and psychological/emotional abuse by my mother leading to anorexia about 10 years ago, depression and drink/drug problems, although despite that I still have more to go. I have lately been having unusual fluttering feelings throughout torso as well as the cramping and waves of racing heartbeat, and finding myself holding my breath subconsciously when concentrating on writing/reading/financial spreadsheets etc. Ive also felt random temperature fluctuations and one night woke in a sweat. Despite the nausea I have never actually vomited. The burning wee has popped up again since it went away a week or so ago. Today I have developed darker, orangey patches between each finger on my left hand and possibly vaguely on the right. I bruise easily and spots/ingrown hairs seem to take a long time to heal. I felt so unusual I thought when checking the symptoms on the web I may be pregnant but a home test yesterday was negative. I will have the set of STi tests again tomorrow plus my psychotherapist wants me to have to have adrenal stress tests and thyroid ( I m not overweight - 5 5 and 55kgs) and my psychiatrist has sent my GP things to check in a blood test for liver. Neither of them know about the above symptoms as they are recent (except the burning which had gone away) and they all come and go. I have a slight sore throat and nasal congestion but that may be substance related. I am rarely ill and my body is well adjusted to extremes and very hardy, so I notice these inconsistencies very quickly and they seem to be in waves. I think thats all the symptoms.
