breathing problem, swallowing and digesting problem

hi im Amri, ive been having a breathing problem for the last 5 months and swallowing recently and also after a meal my stomach is so full at the top, doctor says its acid or gas, i used to be a gamer and used to play online games everytime and not go out much with frien ... [More] ds and i used to break rest alot. I went to the doctor and she said it was stress(anxiety) and gastric plus a little bit of reflux. I cant get emotional, when i do my chest feels weak. I came to Qatar a week ago and i started exercising, stopped gaming, and started reading, i feel a little better but the breathing problem triggers sometimes but its better than before. I need to get fit since i have to go to Uni in a month's time. I quit school a year ago for gaming and now im sick, i regret this alot. Please help me, would appreciate it.. Doctors did Echo, ECG , Blood tests and all were clear.

hey, I just wanted to as you a question, i get the same chest tiredness sometimes and it feels difficult to breathe, but now I can control it, I still am having a doubt whether if I go to university will it trigger or not? coz for the past 6 months from the time I got this I havent been occupied at all and not socialized with friends coz of this, but when im with them I forget about this and feel normal, but there is always a fear that I will get it again

hey, I did some research and in most websites its said that anxiety cant be cured by meds and the best way is to ignore it and to just be... I tried doing that and I feel better, I just ignore the symptoms when it comes and it goes away in like 10 minutes whereas earlier it stays on for like 5-6 hours where I walk in circles thinking about the symptoms, I just want to know if I keep doing this will it help me to regain my emotions..

Hi...well it is true if u r not busy u can tend to fixate on issues...but if u r busy...u do not have the time to.

I pray that going to Uni will be a help...and know, that being stress at ur age is normal....and do not make it a bigger issue than it is...bcuz u r feeding it to get bigger....

Please keep me posted on ur progress at Uni

....I was able to find the Feldenkrais books on line...Amazon had them...and I am sure ur local bookstores or library will too.

But ne kind of meditation, or yoga should help u to relax...everyone will pick a diff kind that suits them best.

If the Uni is a option to get to see a specialist or a dr that can help u by all means go if u can .U have to make the choice....if u can afford to go money wise and if u can afford not to go health wise.

Research the drs u might see and find out if u feel they can help.Once u find the right dr u will know.

Hi....it all depends onwhat method u use...I was told to get Feldenkrais  method by my dr for overall health and posture.....it should help with personal awareness so it could help u relax.

Try and let us know what works.

Exercise will only help u feel better as long as u do not have a condition that restricts the activity....but everyone needs to be active to some degree to improve their health.

So the weak heart issues could be from a lack of exercise in general.

I am still not sure what u mean, but if u feel u no longer have anxiety...I am sure it is possible to be anxiety free.....not everyone suffers from anxeity and some only occasionally.

I hope that does answer ur question, although it is my opinion.

Can anxiety be completely gone off from my body? 1 more thing is that sometimes my heart feels weak, is this because of lack of exercise coz once i started exercising my heart doesnt feel weak as earlier always, its better now..

Hi...I am not aware of a site with Feldenkrais instruction.....most likely u will need to get a book...or a local place that might offer a class.

Stress can do many things...yes it is possible to be stressed and have a breathing issues and ur gerd issue as well.

The yoga classes u r taking may very well help u alot......breathe slowly and try to relax....
Remember that meds r not a cure, justa way to help reduce the main issues, we have to make changes in our diet and our lifestyles in order to feel better.

hey i googled Feldenkrais and i couldnt find a way how to do it. Do you know any websites that show how this method works, if so please post a link. Today before my Lunch i found it difficult to breathe for around half an hour but after I ate it got better and then after an hour it was completely ok, so I guess this breathing problem triggers when I have gastric..And recently I've been starting to get pains in my body, I dont know if its muscular or not sometimes on the right or left side of my chest and at the back of my chest especially, this started after I started to exercise..
