anxiety related?

[cristo123]

i will ask more questions in the future but wanted to give a description of how i feel and get another doctor's opinion beside my own.  when i get in a stressful situation my heart starts racing and thumping. i get tightness in my neck and chest. then after a day of stress at my stressful retail job i lay down to sleep and my heart is flip flopping weird shortness of breath and cant breath well. have to take in deep breathes if i can and it feels better but then i feel my heart thump so more and it seems like the the thumping and skipping happnes more when i take a deep breath. i am a 24 year old male that walks a lot at my work and am literally running sometimes. i enjoy it cuz i have always been a fit person i ran crosscountry in high school with no problems. my brother died tragically 4 years ago. could the grieving process have affected my heart also? and i have untreated allergy-induced asthma at the moment with the general anxiety/panic attacks. PLEASE I NEED UR ADVICE! if u need more input or clarification i will gladly reword this or start from the beginning in explaining.

We're not Drs here, just people like you that have anxiety.
The asthma could be causing the breathing problems. Are you being treated for it?
Anxiety can also cause shortness of breath.
Have you thought about getting counseling to deal with the loss of your brother? This might be a great help to you. There are also meds to help with the anxiety. Take care. Remar
