What Could Cause The Symptom Of Not Getting Enough Air To Breathe Leading To Insomnia?
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
