Trouble In Taking Deep Breath. Numbness In Hands And Feet, Fullness Feeling, Dizziness. Possible Problem?
I have had trouble taking a deep breath. Feels like it gets stuck in my throat . (did not happen in anxious setting, not an enxious person- not an anxiety attack or panick attack which has been a common dx) Once so bad my feet and hands went numb, parents made me go to ER. Neg Chest Xray , Labs normal. Went to PCP, tried singular, albuterol.Nothing. Treied 10 day prednisone pack, nothing. Tried an antibiotic - nothing. I had a plevic ultrasound- clear. My other symptoms are a feeling of fullness, not hungry, bowel changes (however my eating has been weird since im not hungry) still cant take a deep breath, not worse with exercision and a puffy lower abdomen no matter what I eat or even when I have eaten nothing. Dizzy when standing sometimes. I am so sick of not feeling well. I am a 25 year old female RN, eats healthy, no past medical history, works out on the regular so normally i feel great. Clearly, my body is telling me something Pregnancy test negative. Any other ideas?

Hello friend,
Thank you for posting your query through Healthcare magic.
You have given a very detailed history of your body since the onset of the disease. But you have not made any remark about YOU and your MIND before and after the onset of disease.
I am a Homoeopath and so thinking differently and would be sharing some different thoughts with you. I hope these are thoughts that you have not at any time pondered over.
You did not mention since how long you have the symptoms and what can be the cause according to your evaluation.
This is because you are not taught that your MIND is also very important in making you healthy or sick. I imagine that you have met with a psychological crisis, which remain 'undigested' in your mind. The same conflict, if not resolved in the psychological level itself will start producing symptoms in the throat, chest and abdomen as you are showing. Since you could not diagnose anything so far, you again sit and probe your mind especially recollecting those days just before you started getting these abdominal symptoms.
Please do not be adamant to say that you are not an anxious type of personality. You zero down your probing especially to the day on which or days just before your hands and feet went numb and you were taken to the emergency room. These reactions do occur not because of your anxiety but because of a genetic programming in your brain. The mind- brain- organ axis is working there.
Since all other investigations are clear you must undergo a constitutional treatment to get cure. My suggestion is that you should get Homoeopathic treatment.
You can either approach an expert Homoeopathic physician in your reachable locality or you can approach me again through the premium follow up question facility of Healthcare magic. I am confident that I can help you provided you give more information about YOU, your life situations and your physical and mental reactions to them.
In the mean time please stop all chemical suppressive drugs and keep your stomach empty. Practise fasting with fluids only until you start getting appetite. Eat only when you have a desire for it.
With Best Wishes,
Dr C. J. Varghese
