Please help me, I m miserable and scared to exercise or do certain things because I feel like I ll die. Thanks.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem and situation. For your symptoms, we need to first rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes. So get done1. ECG for cardiac causes.2. Chest x-ray and PFT (pulmonary function test) for pulmonary causes. If all are negative then no need to worry much cardiac and pulmonary causes. You are mostly having anxiety. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.Don't worry, you will be alright.
