Suffering From Breathing,anemia And Anxiety Attacks

Good Morning,

Just a quick query, I have had an issue with my breathing recently, in this, I find it hard to take a full, deep, breath.
I have been tested for anaemia in the past whilst having this problem, and my blood iron levels are always perfect, my blood pressure is also always perfect, as are my SP02 levels.

I have found that this problem (which I can only describe as dyspepsia) is often worsened by alcohol.
I drink frequently, but generally nothing stronger than Lager (which at most is 4% against my usual lager that is just 3.8%)

I have found that meditation and relaxation techniques make the problem easier, but nothing seems to cure it completely.

This is an issue that started literally overnight several months ago, and it is driving me crazy :(

I have been told that it is anxiety, but this started before I suffered with anxiety, and is not cured by any anti anxiety medication... I think, I just want to know what it is, and how to make it go away.

Kind Regards,

Alexander

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have generalized anxiety disorder and you need continuous treatment with antidepressant and benzodiazepine. I would suggest you paroxetine, that is a antidepressant with very good anxiolytic effect. You can carry on with relaxation exercise and meditatation that would give you additional benefit.

Thanks
