What Causes Shortness Of Breath Followed By Panic Attacks?

ok so im having various different symptoms and ive been to the docs about 3 times and none of them are able to figure it out and all give me the same answer that i am healthy and that its nothing. I m having shortness of breath followed by panic attacks because i feel like im suffocating, chest pains which spread through both left and right side of my chest, fatigue and i cant run for more than say 5-10 mins or i will have blurred vision and i will be dizzy for the span of a few hours. what could this be?

Shortness of breath is one of the symptoms of panic attack. So are the chest pains, and the fatigue. So is dizziness and blurred vision. You need to find the cause of your anxiety and work on it. While you are finding the causes and working on them with psychotherapy, you can get some temporary relief from your physician who can prescribe clonazepam or alprazolam to use sparingly, on an as needed basis.
