Hi. I am experiencing constant shortness of breath - I can never take a deep breath. I experience constant sharp pain in the center f my chest. It is not indigestion/acid reflux - I had that once when I was eight. A couple years ago I felt this terrible sharp pain I think was a heart attack and it has made my breathing difficult ever since. Only recently (At least a couple months) my chest pain has been constant with it. My breaths are so short it induces yawning. The article on here said to do things like small short breaths and breathing through my nose but that makes me feel like I literally am going to suffocate for loss of air. I know I get major stress and do have anxiety. I told a doctor that and he told me I do not have anxiety. I literally had to argue with him to say that I do. He gave me a prescription which did nothing to help and only made it impossible to stay awake (and it was a narcotic) so I stopped taking it. He never put anxiety on my record. I used to think I might have asthma when I was younger because I could not run without feeling like I was no longer breathing. I am athletic and breath right. But the doctors told me I have perfect healthy lungs. They said there is nothing wrong with my heart and I often feel face or racing heart beat. Constant chest pain. I cannot breath or barely breath and small breaths makes it worse. No doctors will give me a straight answer for anything and the pain has been so bad that it resembled a heart attack description induced by stress...except that it did not last over a few minutes. It left me in complete fatigue and I think I slept it off .
