Hello Doc, My Name Is Zain. I Am Male, 30
Question: Hello Doc,
My name is Zain. I am male, 30 years age.
Currently i am extremely obese. My height is 5,8 and i weigh
135kgs.
I have been suffering from anxiety disorder past 12-13 years.
It all started with a panic attack while i was driving to the
college.
Have been taking many SSRI, s and benzos past these years.
Literally i have tried almost every anti-depressant.
Currently i am taking zoloft 150mg at night, inderal 40mg
three times a day. And xanax 1mg (as per my anxiety. Its like
almost 3mg per day)
Now coming to the main point.
The problem i am facing these days is shortness of breath
after just walking 10-12 steps. I can not even stand for 20
secs and my lower back starts to hurt alot. I literally sweat
up for just after a few steps and end up being sitting on the
floor somewhere due to extreme shortness of breath.
Thad all my blood tests done including CBC, LFT, S. RFT,S.
Uric acid. Thyroid, vitamin B,s and a few more. All the tests
were fine.
Kindly guide me for my problem. I know i am too obese but i
do see people much fat than me running miles everyday.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Do an ECG first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you should even check tour heart function and cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL, HDL.
I think you may need to do an ECG to check for possible pathologies of heart causing the shortness of breath and chest pain. Also you may need to do a spirometry to check lungs function.
If every examination comes out to be normal then the shortness of breath may be caused only by obesity and anxiety.
A heart function evaluation is needed before you start intense physical activity needed to loose weight.
Also you should start a new diet plan with less fats and carbohydrates and more proteins and vegetables.
Loosing weight with improve your overall health and anxiety too.
*So as a conclusion you should first do a heart check up doing an ECG and cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL.
*Do a spirometry to check lungs function.
* start exercising and a healthy diet.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

The test you have mentioned are all done and are perfectly normal.
I did have a lung test which is done prior to sleep apnea test. ( i forgot the name ). It was like a device in which you have to blow in with full power. The result was 90 percent right.
I have gained this weight all past 2 years. When i was 90kg i still had the problem of extreme sweating and shortness of breath while walking.

Brief Answer:
See tests needed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
The test you are describing is spirometry which shows the lungs function.
You may need to redo some tests:
* total blood count with formula
*cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL
* ECG (interpretation by cardiologist)
* spirometry
* fasting glucose levels and post prandial glucose levels.
*thyroid function T3, T4 and TSH
Erectile dysfunction may be related to diabetes, increased fats in blood, and antidepressants and SSRI usage.
Loosing weight and increasing physical activity may improve erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
You can send the results of tests to me in order to evaluate situation and spot what is causing the symptoms.
