Hi, I am new to this forum, I would like to pose a question to you in hopes that I may recieve some feedback or advice.

About last thanksgiving I had been occasionally getting dizzy. At least It's kinda like being dizzy,, I'm not really almost falling down and the room's not spinning or anything, it's more of a headrush I think, to be more accurate.. it feels like a headrush that's kinda dizzying, but with no vertigo or anything severe.
A month later just after Christmas about once a day (at nighttime) it seemed like I was having trouble breathing for maybe 10 or 15 minutes or something. It really felt like I couldn't get a full breath, just a 30% breath or so.. and then the feeling would go away. So, no big deal, it just happened like that at night every 2 days or so, but then on Jan 5 (about 2 weeks ago) I had what I considered a major breathing-attack where I felt like I could get more than a 20% breath for about 15 or 20 minutes and it scared me very much. I paced around the house and even went outside to try and get better air but it was just the same. On this day, which I was thinking about it anyway, I quit smoking cold-turkey and thusly I am still without smoking and it's been 15 days now

Anyway, Jan 5 was like a beginning of this ailment that I'm talking about, it is definitely a breathing ailment, or at least the illusion of one, as I had been fighting (and dealing with) it for the passed 2 weeks and it actually does seem to be getting better, I know it is, but I still have it. I am also with the dizziness I mentioned that started off-and-on in late Nov (1.5 months ago)

About 3 days ago I was at work and I was perfectly fine, the best day I'd had up to that point, and then, like it normally does, just out of nowhere I had the feeling of only getting a 30% breath. So I just continue working and I try to breathe but it doesn't go away like it had been after 5 or 10 minutes.. After 15 minutes or so of this my right arm began to tingle with the pinky-finger and then up my whole forearm. I still couldn't get more than 30% air (or so I thought) and then soon after that my left arm began to tingle.. and then both of my arms were tingling and numb with my horror. I was in my boss's office during this time with people around me to try and help me. At this point I told them to call for am ambulance and so one came.. the EMT's talked to me and told me to settle down as they hooked up some wires to my nose and chest, arms, etc.

(btw, I had been occasionally using an albuterol nebulizer as it would *seem* to relieve my breathing symptoms. I had thought this was like having athsma or a lesser version of athsma)

So then the EMT's tell me that I'm not having an athsma attack and that my oxygen output (or input or whatever) was at 100% and that I was getting more than enough oxygen. It was carbon-dioxide that I was not getting enough of, and they both said that I was just hyper-ventilating and to stop it immediately, so they calmed me down and I had slowed my breathing. Within another 5 or 10 minutes my arms began to feel more normal and I had a major headrush and was very dizzy indeed, almost too dizzy to walk but I was able to walk to the ambulance just fine, although dizzy. The EMT's stayed with me for a good 30 or 40 minutes and talked to me, and told me that no matter what I thought was going on, it was not athsma, it was just hyperventilation that was making my arms eventually tingle. My heartrate was way over 100 , maybe even close to 200 at the worst part of that night and my arms had never felt that tingly before nor since.
I declinced a ride to the hospital and went home with my dad where I took a shower and tried to relax. LIke the EMT's said, no matter how bad it feels that I am not getting a breath,, I actually am,, so I can't over-breathe or else I'd hyperventilate again.. which I have not done and it's been 3 days now with success. My arms have never tingled even though I sometimes feel I'm only getting a partial breath.. The passed few days it's still getting better, but still at the worst times I feel like I'm drawing a 50 or 60% breath.. and then it goes away in about 10 minutes.

I have found that Vicks Vaporub helps when I breath it during one of these "attacks" (however mild or moderate) and I am able to breathe much better, a 30% boost of perceived air going into my lungs.

It is to my understanding that I am suffering (occasionally) from the *Illusion* that I am unable to breathe properly sometimes, maybe once per hour or twice on a bad day for 5 - 10 minutes each 'attack' and then it returns to normal. I'm Vicks'ed up all the time now and it's helping, but I'm still not 100% well and nobody around me suffers like this, nor do people I work with, it's totally unheard of from what I've found. I don't think it's a severe problem, or at least I hope not.. I have a rabbit that's in my room but I've had rabbits for many years without this happening before, dogs and other pets in the house too, although I just have the 1 rabbit now. I've never had athsma in my life, nor any other kind of breathing ailment, never, except when I got sick in 1998 with broncitus.
I'm not sick at all, I have a perfect appetite and I'm not tired. I dont have headaches, no bleeding anywhere, nothing else. Just occasional illusion of hard-breathing and dizziness or ... more accurately : head-rushes.. or semi-head-rushes.. it's hard to explain. It feels like theres a pressure in my head that makes me feel kinda dizzy, although I dont have any problems at all standing or walking.
Just one other ailment but I don't know if it's related or not, It might just be eye-strain, but when I use my computer for a long time my eyes start to blur and I see fading impressions of images.. like right now I take my eyes away and see somewhat bright white lines in the air where all this text was previously viewed. I'm just mentioning this because this started in November as well around the time the dizziness started.

Thank you for reading all this, I am just curious if anybody has any idea or has suffered from this minimal ailment as well.. although it's not really minimal, it's quite bothersome and I really would prefer to be sick than to suffer with this for going on 3 weeks now.

btw I have read the main common symptoms of black mold inhalation and I do not have any of them besides the dizziness part., but thats' very ambiguous I would think as dizziness can come from a lot of places.
