Shortness of breath, extreme random pain
For a couple years now I’ve had shortness of breath and purple nail beds. Randomly out of nowhere I’ll get extreme EXTREME pain in my chest. Mostly happens on my right side directly under my rib cage which knocks the breath out of me and I can’t take in air. It passes in 30 seconds. Sometimes it happens on my upper left side. I always have shortness of breath. All my scans are clear and doctors don’t seem to believe me. My WBC count is always slightly high but no one bats an eyes

Hi. I understand your concern s. If all the examination and investigation are normal then you could be having anxiety or panic attacks. Consult a psychiatrist for the same.

Please cosult a doctor when you have purple nail beds. The oxygen levels in the body need to be checked. Please do an ECG , 2 D ECHO , lung ct scan, Pulmonary function test . If already done, and if they are all normal, then you need not worry too much.
