Chronic Stress
Hello I am a 34 yrs old male feeling shortness of breathing intermittently and tired for last 3 months. I did ECG echo xRay chest thyroid profile complete blood count and all are normal. Dr told me that it hapens due to stress. So I want to is it really due to stress? Basically it hapens when I go to duty and started talking with the clients and more or less I have a hectic schedule and most of the time I use to speak from 10am to 7 pm. When I feel shortness of breathing, at the same time I also feel dryness of mouth and when I take rest for sometime it goes off automatically. And during holidays I dnt feel that much of discomfort. So I wouldlike to know whether these shortness of breath, tiredness, Felin dry mouth are due to stress or anything else? And what should I do?

Tremors, feeling anxious or nervous, sense of panic, sweating, increased heartbeat, feeling of impending doom, stomach discomfort, dizziness etc are signs of anxiety. These can be debilitating. If the anxiety is overwhelming, consult a Psychiatrist at the earliest. With the right medication and counseling, it is likely your symptoms will improve.

The symptoms described by you are pointing towards anxiety attacks....anxiety has physical symptoms like feeling your heart beating fast, shaking of hands, dryness of mouth, shortness of breath etc and psychological symptoms like constant worry and fear of having a heart attack, dying or going crazy...it can be situational like in your case or it may totally be spontaneous and you may not be able to find a cause
