default
Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2023
Question: On April 10th I did A WebMD request. I am still experiencing the same complaints. I feel like I am not getting any air, but 02 stats run between 97 and 94 I also get a feeling that I am going to faint, I'm shaky. I feel like I am gassy and when I do get rid of the some gas it helps. I have not slept for me than a few hours all week. I went to the dr on Friday, they did an EKG, chest X=ray and said it looked ok. I take the following meds,, MS Contin, Clondine 1mg 2x day, Norco for intermittent pain, lorazepam 1mg, I am currently taking levofloxin for a urine infection, All my symptoms went away from the middle of last night until I ate dinner and then they started again, I am once again very shaky, feel like I can't breathe and have a feeling of going under, I hope this makes sense

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.
Anxiety cause stop processing food efficienly.
That can cause the bacteria in your intestine produce excess gas.
Also the difficulty of breathing and tremor can be related to anxiety.

I see that you are already taking medication for the anxiety.
Some advice that I can give to you are:
-eat healthy,try to eat a rich fiber diet
-drink liquids
-exercise can help in managing anxiety
