What Causes Difficulty In Breathing?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Hi I wonder can you help me - over the last couple of days I've been having these funny feelings in my chest. It usually happens when I am going asleep, I feel as of I can't breathe and have to jump up to catch my breath. Then I have funny feeling in my head and feel as if I am shaking inside. It feels like a pressing on my chest. I've been to the doctor. He checked my heart - it's beating normally. I am currently taking cymbalta for anxitey and missed a couple of days but I am back on them about 5 days now. I would be grateful for your reply! Thank you

Hi dear,
it all seems like the symptoms have cropped up from some underlying mental stress. you have been receiving treatment on the right grounds. cymbalta is fine but I also think an addition of Nexito 5 mg (escitalopram) once at night Will help further.
I find this answer helpful
