What Causes Headache And Difficulty In Breathing?

I had this weird feeling recently. I felt a headache and also fel like my clothes were constricting me from breathing. I felt really hot too I felt that if I had no clothes on I would be able to breathe. I also felt that if I shaved my head at that moment I'd be able to breathe. I know bizarre but that was the feeling. I hope maybe you could give me suggestions or what I should look out for. My prev doc told me they're breaking pains and that's all there is. So I'm not sure. Thanks. - Tina

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more likely.
But better to first rule out lung diseases for your breathlessness.
So get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
If both these are normal then no need to worry for lung diseases.
Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
