I've been having shortness of breath a lot recently... I don't know what's wrong, but it tends to come in waves...

I hope it's not asthma. I'll be praying, buddy.

There's a lot of things that can cause this. Regardless, it's off to the doctor for you. This might be something that needs to be treated soon.

Praying for your success in this endeavor.

ps: Read the Prayer Thread about Roy Mustang.

It's been getting worse, and now it's accompanied by nearly blacking out when I stand, and when I do, it lasts for a couple minutes, I go almost deaf, and when my hearing comes back, I hear hissing for several minutes...

This is starting to really scare me, and I don't have insurance...

I'm headed to urgent care in the morning which is, ironically cheaper than a visit to a normal doctor, but still a good chunk of change...

You'll be in my prayers...Quick question about all this though (forgive me if this seems rather odd or random to ask), but when you have these moments do your senses suddenly begin to highten, or you start focusing on certain things?

It's not so much a moment as it is I'm fine in the morning and get worse as the day goes on.

My mom think's there's nothing wrong with me and it's spiritual... The doctor isn't sure exactly what's wrong, but thinks it's a combination of allergies and dehydration, but isn't sure what's making my blood pressure drop over time...

I feel fine in the morning, but as the day goes on, it shows up again, and by the end of the day it's unbearable... right now I'm in a lot of pain...

A few people have suggested it may be stress, and the doctor asked if I felt anxious at those times... Fact is, I feel anxious so much, I don't think about that fact... If it is nerves, it's self feeding...

I feel like it's my throat that's the problem, like it keeps closing... He didn't check my throat, though... I'll be going back before a week if this doesnn't improve...

You'll be in my prayers, it kinda sounds like asthma to me (Have athletic endused asthma) But yet again it doesn't. You are doing the right thing though, keep going to the doctor. and do as he says.

I was doing better this morning, but now it's even worse than last night... my whole torso is sore, and my arms are tingling, and it feels like I have something jammed in my shoulders...

I'm very scared...

Still praying, buddy. Get some help, and fast. I don't know what it is that you have, but you'd better not let it go ignored.

Still having some problems, but I've narrowed it down to 2 things.

1. Stress... Could be a panic attack.
2. An allergic reaction to multivitamins... The breathing problem started when I started taking my vitamins again...

Now, there exists a problem with both of these:

1. I'm always stressed from school and relationships...
2. I have taken these vitamins before

The primary stress seems to come from my Class / work relationship... I'm afraid of losing my job if I screw up my geometry class, and my breathing problems happen most when I get stressed over geometry...

I have to do Geometry homework today, but I'm not having as serious of problems today. I also didn't take my vitamin pill today (on purpose, to test this)

So, I'll try taking my vitamins again after Geometry is over... If I have this problem during my break (a more substantial break this time than my 1 school day break last time) then I'll know it's the vitamins. Otherwise, it was just a substantial stress and a panic attack, and have to deal with that angle.

Hmmm, I have had something similar that probably had some relation to a panic attack. Will defidently be praying. *It lasted a while then stopped*.

Well, in addition to the items you mentioned...

Depending on where you live, 'tis the season to have ragweed...

My allergies, which include asthma-like symptoms, really go crazy in September. Have you recently moved to a new area that might have more allergens?
