Huh...I have the same thing. I'm glad you posted this because I think I'll bring it up to my doctor. I get the shortness of breath thing, and have some stomach issues. I went to the ER not too long ago and the doctor there mentioned GERD and acid reflux. It makes sense, because when I eat, even the smallest amounts make me very full and uncomfortable, and I LOVE to eat. Burping does help...but I have to eat several small meals during the day to ward off the discomfort. I should try some OTC antiacids until I go to the doctors...see if that helps any, only have to wait till Thursday...that's the appointment. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna go and write down everything I've been feeling so I can get a full work up (plus I'm pretty forgetful and I have a lot of questions for the doctor, poor guy...doesn't know what he's getting himself into, taking me as a patient, hehehe) But back to what your asking, the ER doctor I saw said that shortness of breath is a major anxiety symptom, however with the wheezing I say go back to the doctor, he can make the judgement about what's going on. Don't worry about going back so soon, that's his job, and what you pay him (or your insurance pays him) for! I had problems with that myself, but I realized that he's providing me a service that I'm paying for, so I have the right to go when ever I feel it necessary, however I've gotten better with going to the doctor for every little thing (I would go if I had a twitch in my leg...go figure) So go to the doctor, tell them what's going on, let them check you out, and if it's not something physical, then remember what you learned here and look at it as an opportunity to put the things you've learned to good use. I actually look forward to pushing myself to the point of panic attacks now...it's a chance to practice what I've learned. You learned to be afraid of every little "noise" your body makes, you can learn to deal with it. Just challenge the anxious thoughts, until you can get to the doctor. Once you know what's going on, you'll know how to handle it! You can do it! Hope you feel better...and get to that doctor, it will give you peace of mind if nothing else!

hi Isabella, i also suffer with Gerds and often have wheezing ta night times and lots of tightness in chest.do you ever have a pain in your back with this,i do quiet often and this freaks me out.my doc has just started me on a new meds for this but does not seem to be working very well.can i ask are your symptoms with Gerds just curious.i take lanprozole at the moment.

I just wanted some sort of advice from anyone who is willing to give it to me. I have been doing good lately with not being anxious but lately I have been wheezing at night and in the morning. I was just at the doctor and forgot to mention this because I was there for something else and this was just a week ago. I feel embarassed to go back already with yet another problem and feel that she is sick of me and always assumes it is just my anxiety. I feel very calm at home and my anxiety has been pretty good as I have been able to go to school and go shopping. But I get to wheezing at night and my chest feels tight and I feel short of breath and this keeps me up. I stay calm and don't run to the hospital but I am just concerned because it is happening today during the day and my chest feels soooo tight and I feel short of breath. I called my fiance and he doesn't want me to run back to the doctor and says it is probably just my anxiety but would anxiety make me wheeze? I also suffer from GERD and this may be causing the shortness of breath because I sometimes feel better when I belch. I just don't know what to do and I just want advice. I know only my doctor can diagnose me but I was just wondering if someone experiences anything similar with their anxiety or not. Thanks.
