Doctor, I have a slightly different problem - because only when I sleep, I have no problems with breathing. I am 28 years old and for the first time I suffered from breathlessness 5 years ago, then I did a lot of research, I was looking for something that would answer the question why and how to fight it. Among other things, I did an x-ray of the lungs, spirometry, thyroid gland, ENT examinations, morphology, ECG, ige tests for allergens and it turned out that I was he althy. This shortness of breath tormented me for about a year, I was so fed up with it that I wanted to die. After a year, they gave up on their own and I don't know when. Now 3 weeks ago they came back to me. During these 3 weeks they tired me a lot, I have enough of them. The only method that allows you to breathe normally is to fall asleep, because when I fall asleep and sleep, my breathing is amazing, so normal. But as soon as I get up it starts all over again. This is because I have to inhale air all the time with my mouth (as if forcibly pushing it in somewhere) and I have the feeling that it is not reaching my lungs and that I am about to suffocate. But I live somehow, because I have a daughter of 7 years and a husband and I love them very much, they also love me. Please help me, and maybe there is some way to deal with this strange shortness of breath ??? Regards Kasia
If somatic causes have been ruled out, and cutting off consciousness during sleep helps, then maybe these are simply neurotic symptoms, especially as they have appeared once and disappeared by themselves. They can worsen under stress, and you describe it as your own impression, maybe you should see your doctor and consider some mild sedative medications.
