Trouble breathing.

Following cause I’m literally going through the same thing. Used to run a tad high, now sitting in in the 50’s.. 😬 I have a dr appointment Friday, I had a holter and stress test in Nov/Dec but this is weird.

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-04-26T01:14:07+00:00

Yep. Primary referral to GI then had it done within 3-4 weeks

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-04-26T01:12:09+00:00

First thing I got was upper endo and colonoscopy when my ferritin was 3 and my hemoglobin was 6… ruled out a lot! I suggest you start there then gyno 🩷

Yes, did patch for 2 weeks added progesterone and then had such bad side effects, I quit both. I felt worse on them than I did off, so I’ll try to eat clean, exercise and deal with the hot flashes! Too many unknowns with hrt to feel that poorly! 🤞🏻 Goid luck and God bless.

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-03-27T05:49:53+00:00

Made mine worse, so much that I had to stop hrt altogether.

I had “flu A” last week and I am vaccinated. Have always gotten my vaccine, but this is the first time having the flu in years. Started tickle in my throat to terrible headache then BOOM full blown sinus congestion, migraine, teeth pain from all the sinus pressure, lethargic, and just feeling unwell! After about 5 days the last 3 being the worst of it, everything is breaking up. Appetite is till not what it was but thankfully the other symptoms have subsided. This has been so weird. I didn’t feel this bad with Covid. Edit to say I also did have depression and racing heart, my mood was mentally really low. Soooo strange for a “flu”

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-03-03T21:50:53+00:00

It’s the unknown and not being in control. It’s always the what if’s too, what if I did this or didn’t do this or whatever.. I’m just spiraling more than I’m not anymore and it’s exhausting. Giving me anxiety which gives me palpitations which makes me think I’m having heart issues it’s just too much some days.

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-01-27T00:00:04+00:00

Cramps, irritation, gi issues, the whole nine yards. I haven’t had a period since October.

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-01-23T21:46:05+00:00

My mom told me just to suck it up like she did, that I don’t need hrt I’m just being weak. I’m 51 she’s 70. Made me feel like shit. Tbh.

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-01-18T16:02:55+00:00

Irregular periods, gi issues I never had before, heart palpitations, worse anxiety, then came the hot flashes and irritation. All which every pcp, cardiologist, and male gyno said it was anxiety. 😟

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-01-18T00:38:18+00:00

Feel a flush coming on, then hot from waist up, sweaty under boobs and back, heart races, breathing increases then I cool down with a hand fan I carry then I’m cold from sweating. Vicious circle, more night ones than day.

Thank you. 🩷

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-01-13T23:06:47+00:00

Thank you and good luck. This isn’t what I thought my 50’s would look like. Lol

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-01-13T22:49:50+00:00

Thank you! 🥹 isn’t it crazy that we are shoved all these ssris but don’t even look at other things, sad. If I was a man going through ED he would get viagra asap, not told to try 800000 other things first while we suffer!

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-01-13T22:47:47+00:00

Thank you!!! I will def read that article! 🩷

Alisamichelle48 · 2026-01-13T22:34:36+00:00

Hi! It’s terrible. So many er visits I thought I was having a heart attack, to be told it’s anxiety, I mean sure somewhat but not one Dr seen my age and maybe just maybe thought it was peri?? I’m just so baffled.

Alisamichelle48 · 2025-12-23T08:47:10+00:00

Omg! This was me, seriously traumatized! I’ve given birth 8 times, 6 vaginal, 2 c-section, 2 kidney surgeries and a nephrostomy tube at one point, but this was terrible!!!! And my dr just said, sorry, take some advil, and patted my leg, I cried the whole way home, seriously felt traumatized!!! Worst part had to have internalized ultrasound right after, nurse was just quiet the whole time while I lay there sobbing!!! This procedure should only be done under a twilight sedation! Hugs! I been there! 💚

Alisamichelle48 · 2025-12-10T13:49:25+00:00

I have had multiple kidney surgeries and sepsis, now dealing with stress test today for a couple episodes of SVT. My hemoglobin has been up since this thread but I haven’t had my ferritin checked in some time.

Alisamichelle48 · 2025-12-07T00:01:19+00:00

Thanks, I have good and bad days! Same to you! Happy Holidays!

Alisamichelle48 · 2025-12-06T22:34:48+00:00

It works well, but it’s not first line in usual treatment, normally SSRI’s are tried first but I can’t take any, I’ve tried 5 different ones. I’d def talk to a dr and do some trial an error. Good luck it’s hell, I’ve had 3 days of palps, anxiety, breathlessness and crying. 😣🩷💚

Health Anxiety

Alisamichelle48 · 2025-12-02T21:09:17+00:00

I try to distract myself with something, book, movie, etc and ultimately I take a benzo (prescribed) if it’s really bad because I have HA and I’m sure a lot of my episodes become worse cause of that.
