OK first time posting so expect it to be a little rough!
From since I can remember I have always felt a lack of breath, I used to suffer from constant tonsilitus until I had them removed three years ago yet it only took away most of the pain and I still felt this hunger for air.
I find it difficult doing anything on the move.
I find eating extreamly uncomftable and regularly choke on food.
Also recently ive noticed that if I had been talking for an long period of time sometimes my throat felt like it popped which was acompanied by a stretching cramp like pain.
The popping I can only closly describe to a coke bottle when you squeeze it and it returns to its orriginal shape.
I went to see my docter and i showed him the spot on my throat that seem uneven and made a grinding feeling when pushed.
He simply told me I was probably imagining it because I have had anxiety in the past.
Well what I want to know is has anyone ever had anything like this and has anyone suffered from long term oxygen shortage or excess Carbon dioxide and could the symtems Include dizziness and panic attacks?
I would really love to teach the arragant ******* a lesson as hes had 10 years to sus it out!

I have heard of various causes for the symptoms you have. Something might be pushing against your airway or you might have a problem with the elasticity in your lungs. But you might have any of dozens of other problems. Right now, it's just too early to speculate on the cause. What need is to find the right doctor. The one you have right now doesn't seem like a very good doctor.

You an ear, nose troat specialist who can get the right tests done. They might even refer you to another specialist.

To facilitate your examination, I suggest that you write down all of the events relating to your problem. Lay it out like you are writing a report and then make an outline for it. It can be incredibly helpful to the doctor to have all of the details in writing and it makes the examination go faster.
