What Can Cause Difficulty In Breathing ?

My case is very confusing, i have been to all kinds of doctors and none of them knows what the problem is. It all started 2 years ago when i went jogging, i came home and i was feeling well but at night while i was sleeping i woke up because i was not breathing(at all), and i was very dizzy, it tokk me 2-3 seconds to realise that i was not breathing so i decided to force my self to inhale and so i did but with difficulty and a sat on the bed and fainted. Since then i was gettig tired with exercise and the same things happend and still happen occasionally at night but now it gets worse. I went to a lung specialist and i was treated for asthma with no results(ventolin,seretide,singulair,aerius), i an not alergic, my spirometry is in normal levels, oxygen is 98% wit hthe device they put on your finger,my heart is ok(ecg,eco,blood tests,tredmile test,holder for card rythm). Another symptom i have lately is feeling my throat being hard, i asked if the throat could be the reason but all doctors said no without chekking my throat. Is it possible to have dificulty breathing due to a problem with the throat? What other reasons could cause this? In addition now i have something called menieres syndrome and this also started the first nigt i had that terrible experiecne, i was sure that i was about to die that night and could only think about the pain of my family for losing me. Thank you.

Hello,

According to the history, yes it happens to have breathless due to larynx problems but it would be a gastric reflux too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
