Woman On Nuvaring Contraception Cannot Inhale Fully. Endoscopy, Lung Function Test, ECG, Chest X-ray Normal. Taking Anti-biotic, Nasal Spray. No Relief. Is This Candida?
Hi. I am a 27year old female who is on Nuvaring contraception for many years. For the past year I have been finding it hard to get a good, full breath in and it kinda is starting to affect my life. Initially doc thought it may have been stomach related as I would have excess gas. I had an endoscopy and ther was nothing found. I had a Lung function test and ECG. All normal.Recently I went again as it was getting to me. Chest xray normal. D dimer bloods raised. CT PA was performed querying a clot. It was also clear so my Doc put me on an antibiotic and nasal spray . I have just finished the course and feel no better.I also got sharp twinges today after lifting boxes etc. The doc also is sending me for an Echo but I got no appointment yet. No history of heart problems in the family and on no other medication. Am cracking up. Its not hindering me a lot but its annoying not being able to get a full breath constantly. I was reading up on Candida and I believe that it may be this. Any feedback appreciated

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you clearly mentioned in your query that each & every reports regarding lung and heart are normal.
In my opinion this is a psychogenic problem.
Tension & work related stress may be main cause.
Anemia is most prominent cause in this type of condition.
Consult a psychiatrist and get his opinion and treatment .
As you are young & doing hard work , so no chances of any heart or lung related disease.
Good luck.
