I have exactly the same problem..I feel difficulty in breathing and I feel my throat gets tight..I have this problem since january 2008 and I am not getting any help from the doctors..the dicciculty in breathing is not accompained with heartburn..though I have gerd..any idea?
I feel the exact same way as that, only, my attacks are always happening after eating. If you do go to get allergies tested, be sure to ask for the RAST or ELISA test, as skin tests are not reliable (although they will tell you they are) Like the above person, i am not getting any help either, be prepared to go to ALOT of docs and have them all tell you youre nuts! I too, like your g/f also suffer from panic attacks, so justy make sure when going to a doc (a diff. one if possible than her regular) do NOT tell them you suffer from panic attacks or they will just automatically assume EVERY time that you are crazy and evertyhing that happens to you is all related to panic attacks.
