About 5 weeks ago while excercising and
stretching on an excercise ball, I
experienced a sharp stabbing pain in the
middle of my chest that went straight
through to my upper back between my
shoulder blades. The pain took my breath
away. The next couple of days I had a
tightness and pressure in my chest. I
noticed that every time I took a deep
breath in, I got chest pain and felt like
my lungs were aching. By the end of the
week I could not stop inhaling these deep
breaths. They overtook me and with each
one my whole chest cavity hurt. At the
risk of sounding like an fool, I went to
my primary. She ran all kinds of blood
tests and an EKG. It showed a slight
variation so I was sent to a cardiologist.
Had a chest x-ray and stress test. Both
came back normal. I was told it was
probably some kind of muscular injury,
asthma or anxiety. Then I went to my
chiropractor who is treating me for some
kind of injury to my ribs(I think) just by
my symptoms and without any kind of x-ray.
I am tired of doctors and feeling
frustrated. I know this is not in my head
and I know my body. If it is some type of
injury, what does it have to do with my
breathing and why can't I control this
uncontrollable urge to inhale like I'm out
of breath? The pain is gone for the most
part now.

i have that erge too, hell its sucha harsh
erge that it feels like i cant breathe and
it feels like will die, but try VERY hard,
dont breathe through your mouth at all,
then when youve gone a few hours and you
havnt passed out you will realize that the
problem was mental, you THINK you need to
take a breath but you really dont
