Feeling difficulty to breath and tingling sensation all over body. Could it be due to anxiety?
Answered by
Thank you for the query.
Yes, it can be an anxiety. But as you have also mentioned, it can be a heart problem (not very common at your age). Such symptoms can be also triggered by low blood sugar, ions deficiency (especially Magnesium and Potassium), thyroid disease.
It is also possible that nausea has triggered anxiety. According to your asthma history, you may also suffer from acid reflux disease which is very often associated with asthma. Reflux disease gives also chest burning and sometimes stomach pain. It can be aggravated by coffee, fruit juices and fatty foods.
It is advisable for you to have some diagnostics. It is advisable to perform heart ECG, full blood work, ions level, blood sugar level, thyroid tests. If reflux disease is possible, upper GI endoscopy should be performed.
You can also start magnesium 400mg a day supplementation, avoid coffee and fatty foods.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

MD Hi,Am suffering from hypothyroidism which in turn caused huge hair loss & hair thinning,My Doc said Eldervit 12 inj taken once a week for 7 weeks will be helpful for hair loss.

MD I have been experiencing this type of hair loss for 9 months now. Blood tests for Iron deficiency and thyroid are normal. I have undergone treatment from a dermatologist which included monthly visits for Kenalog injections and use Clobetesal nightly. I did not have an appointment this month as the thought was it may be my last affected area. Now I have 5 bald patches ranging in size from a nickel to half-dollar. It is thought that it is due to emotional stress as my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer last January and these spots started to appear the following March. My husband is undergoing chemo with little to not side effects and the treatment will add years to his life, so one would think I would no longer be stressed, I am grateful for that. I just don't know why these are still appearing and should I consider another method of treatment. I plan to schedule another appointment with my dermatologist and I am not sure what to ask for. Could you give me some alternative choices that I may be able to ask him about? I appreciate you being there. Thank you. Claudia Crowe
