They can send you for lung testing, and send you for oxygen testing, and send you for blood tests to see if there's something wrong that's simple.

I doubt they'll be as worried about heart problems with you, though.

If they can't find any kind of physiological cause, it might be anxiety. Panic attacks can bring on a feeling of not being able to breathe, and can come on rather suddenly.

hi.. well i went to the doctor today. .and the raeson why i can't breahe is because i have lots of stress and i slouch so my muscles are really tense and push up against my lungs and it makes it hard to breathe.. i'm glad that i know what it is.. but they said it make take 4 weeks for it to go away http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif blah.. i guess i'll deal with it..

thanx for the help
bye
