Your lungs had an infection. All the little filters in your lungs picked up something it didnt like. So you HAVE to breathe to stay alive so naturally this will take some time.\nGet checked for allergies also so it wont be triggered again.

I might breath differently than you, but I expand my lungs unconsciously allowing air to fill them up. I then exhale mostly carbon dioxide. I breathe more profusely when I exercise. The oxygen I take in burns calories but may cause me to rust inside. That is why I take  vitamins so my breathing will be better Breath is life, unless it is bad breath. But that is another story.

confused, that is a great name for you, Why are you asking medical questions on Yahoo Answers, if you are having problems breathing then go to the doctor and have him/her check you out, this is not something to fool around with especially if you or someone close to you is a smoker.\n\nDO NOT RELY ON ANSWERS FROM THIS FORUM ON HOW TO CURE OR DIAGNOSE YOUR PROBLEM AS THE WAY TO GO.  see a doctor.

Sounds like panic attack to me.  Same thing happened to me.  Brought on by stress although I didn't feel stressed.  I fyou don't deal with stress properly or productively, then your body will in its own way

Your symptoms and your prior diagnoses seem indicative of chronic panic attacks. Do you suddenly get nervous almost jumpy, begin sweating, have shortness of breath and what can only be described as chest pains when these attacks happen? If so, I would probably have to go with my first assessment. You may want to see your doctor and let him know of all of these symptoms (should they apply to you). He can then prescribe an anti-anxiety medication such as valium, xanax, buspar, etc. Do you have any idea what causes them? Have you suffered a traumatic experience in the past that could have been the basis for this? What generally trigger's this? Sometimes simple panic attacks happen as we remember or are exposed to a situation that is similar to a negative/traumatic experience in ones past. Also, panic attacks and some fears stem from the unknown. Have you heard of the phrase, "What you don't know won't hurt you?" This doesn't apply to people who suffer from panic attacks. The best way to combat this is to research what it is that scares you and trigger's these symptoms. To understand ones problem is to put oneself at ease. Try not to read too much into a situation as this will just increase your anxiety and make it worse. Have you heard of the K.I.S.S. Principle? It stands for Keep It Simple Stupid/Silly. The last "S" is part of the original phrase as Silly is a new variation. Don't take it personally. Anyways, life is already complicated enough without having our own fears and anxieties flare up and make life worse. Try to get to the bottom of this as it can be a learned behavior as a way to compensate for traumatic experiences in your past. I hope that I have been of some help to you in this endeavor. Good Luck to you!\n\nps: Anxiety will increase ones blood pressure and the lack of help and confusion will eventually fuel your anger making things worse. Keep calm as you don't want to give yourself a stroke as it could happen when left unchecked. \n\n\npps: That reminds me, also see your doctor about a blood pressure medication and to also recommend a good therapist as it will provide you with an outlet for your stress. Don't be worried about shame or stigma as over 50% of all Americans suffer from one kind of mental illness or another (no matter how mild of how bad it could be). You are in the majority in this respect. Remember, there is no shame in wanting to get better.\n\nppps: The stress that you are undergoing will lead to a build up of stomach acids which will create heartburn and if left unchecked GERD and/or esophageal varices (an ulcer in the esophagus where it meets your stomach opening), and eventually a gastric ulcer. Eat a lil something low in salt, sugar, fat and acid. This will allow the excess acids to work on the food and not your insides. BTW, sugary, salty and fatty foods will also elevate stomach acids. On a holistic note: I read that the drinking of certain types (not any and all) of vinegar will help to neutralize stomach acids. This makes sense as vinegar is an alkali and will neutralize acid. In any case, always consult your doctor before taking anything to help ease your problems as there may be an allergic or adverse reaction that you don't want to find out about the hard way.

What you're describing sounds so much like a panic attack!  I get those and they're soooo scary!  Talk to a doctor about an anti-anxiety medication, but be careful that you don't just jump into any dosage because you don't want to worsen the problem if the meds won't help.  Breathe deeply, in and out, and count slowly down from 100 when you feel it start in your chest.  Think about the opposite of what scares you, a happy memory, anything, and remove yourself from the situation.  Eventually, when you feel in control of the fear, the fear will diminish.  I've had this problem for a long time but I've learned to control it myself to the point where I was able to completely stop taking medication and haven't had a panic attack in two years.  Good luck!

Well, Im a girl and Im having the same sort of problem.  Sometimes Im culd just be talkign adn when I breath through my mouth I could have sharp pains in my chest.  It feels like a pin or somthing and then it hurts to brethe for a few seconds, but then it's gone.  I dont get it often, but sometimes it happens.  My sister says its no big deal and that it is probably just cramps.(She is NIQU nurse or however you spell it, but she worked with other things too)

First off, I know exactly what you mean!  This happens to me as well.  I actually, take a tranq to reduce the anxious feelings.  For you and these will sound goofy.  After smoking and u feel those feelings, go sit on the toilet to attempt taking a crap.  The muscles used help relax you.  A doctor recommended this, not something I made up for laughs.  Also, breathing in deeply through the nose like ur smelling a rose and out through your mouth will help.  Do it until you stop your heart from racing...which it is not.  You are just hyperventilating.  Try taking the weed a diferent way besides smoking it ciggy style...sometimes if they are rolled too tight it foces you to take in a deeper breath and works towards hyperventilating.  Try a bong or brownies.

Hi.  I have been suffering from anxiety disorder since 2000.  It was during a very stressful period in my life.  The panic attack made me feel like I was having a heart attack, which is what I called 911 for.  I felt so crazy when they told me I was only hyperventilating/having a panic attack.  And once you have one panic attack, the fear of another sets you up for multiple attacks.  It was difficult for me for awhile.  I was put on medications and I wasn't really ready at that time for that kind of thing.  Since, i have always been against putting chemicals into my body.  My attacks are not due to a chemical imbalance, so they put me on medications they thought would just calm me and relieve stress.  I fought against the meds, and my attacks increased.  I wasn't sleeping because I thought I was going to die.  I finally just accepted I needed the medication and gave it a try.  After a month I hadn't had any attacks.  Then I began to worry I was being weak because I couldn't maintain normal existence without medication.  But a friend of mine made me look at it a different way.  We wouldn't encourage someone with bipolar syndrome to not take their medication or someone who has seizures to try something outside of what the doctor prescribed.  I'm not sure what your reasons are for trying to get off your meds, but if they work...why would you want to?  Breathing methods have proven quite effective, since you are only hyperventilating.  It demands a great deal of discipline, because you have to change your thinking.  Your mind is registering this as you dying.  You may think you know you are not, but the brain works in mysterious ways.  There are several online sites that help you practice the breathing through the nose like you are smelling a rose technique and expelling out of the mouth like blowing through a straw.  I get most anxious at night, before bed and frankly I don't have the discipline needed to say screw it to my ativan and trying out some breathing excercises.  There are also yahoo groups with people to talk to in every single state.  My email is qween_o_hartz@yahoo.com and you are free to write me anytime you need someone to talk to.  It is very frustrating at times.  People look at it as just in our heads or chemical imbalances, etc.  We all handle stresses differently and panic attacks are our bodies way of dealing with it.  Good luck.  \n\nAna

yes, i get like that sometimes after an attack. for me its kinda like my body gets so tired after fighting to breathe like that it completely wears me out, and it gets so frustrating it makes me very moody and i snap at people who are concerned about me. it gets really rough sometimes, i just try my best to keep my asthma under control so it doesnt get to that point too much. i can feel your pain.

My Children have excercise induced asthma and cold induced asthma. You get shortnes off breath and coughing. If you cough and it takes you a long time to calm down try to get a drink of water. What happens is in the airways you have muscles wrapped around the pipes and when you have an attack they tighten. Also when you cough there are mucas plugs in those airways that swell and cause mucas causing you to cough. Please if you think that you have asthma go to a Asthma and Allergy doctor not your regular doctor for they might overlook it. It happened to my daughter for 3 months....

My throat does that from allergic reactions. It's annoying, isn't? I usually get an allergic asthma attack soon after because I breath in the allergen after it hits my throat. That wouldn't happen to you if you weren't susceptible to asthma. \n\nIt doesn't mean you are putting inappropriate things in your mouth. If it's allergic, it simply means you are breathing. Your nose and mouth are connected so it could happen in your throat if you aren't breathing through your mouth. It could be indoors or outside depending on what you may be allergic to (like dust or pollen).

Yes, your medication can cause this. It could be the sign of serious allergic reaction. I suggest you contact your doctor ASAP. If you have trouble breathing or are feverish, dizzy..call 911

A couple of years ago I went through a period which lasted around 3 months where, every night just after falling asleep, I would feel unable to breathe, I could feel my heart beating faster and faster and I would be trying to scream to wake myself up but I couldn't move or make a sound. I would consciously know that I was asleep and I knew that I needed to wake up but there was nothing I could do. In the worst instances, about 5 times, I was sure I was going to die. Then after what seemed like a long time I would manage to yell and my husband would wake me up, in reality I'm sure it was probably only a couple of minutes. In the end I would try to keep myself awake as long as possible because I was too scared to sleep. I can't exactly recall when or why it stopped happening so regularly, it still happens to me very occasionally, maybe once or twice a year. The best way I can describe it is like having a panic attack in my sleep. I've never technically had it diagnosed at sleep paralysis but after reading up a lot about it on the internet since it started happening I'm pretty sure that this is my problem. I'm not sure if this is what you were after but I hope it helps.

Just relax.  This is probably just a sub-conscience reaction to not wanting to be heard sneezing.  Nobody should think differently of you as long as you make sure that your hands are clean.

If I was you I would have a doctor check this out to see if you do have asthma. If you smoke even if it is pot you will have problems with this because my son did and it caused him to have a type of asthma attacks. Be honest with yourself and your family and your doctor. You don't want lung trouble like some that I know GOOD LUCK
