Migraines Bronchitis Breathing Issues and Anxiety r they related

I went to dr today and was diagnosed with Bronchitis and I am currently on a steroid and cipro antibiotic they gave me a breathing treatment and took xrays and said its not pneumonia my concern is I have had unexplained migraimes for 13 years now even spent time in headache treatment  and thay could not identify them. I have now for about the last year been suffering with anxiety issues and hives continiously as well as pains in the joints of my fingers. My mother informed me in my medical history this morning that I was born with breathing issues and was in and out of hospital first few years of my life could this have any effect on the problems I am experiencing today? is it possible to have been an asthmatic problem overlooked for many years? It feels as tho when I take deep breaths I am being punched n chest and back. i can take short shallow breaths and be fine. I have also been known to get anxiety to the point of panic attacks. Please help me understand this. Not to mention I did have a thyroid issue from about 15 to 19 years of age. I was prescribed Synthroid.

Hi,
How are you? Migraines are primary headaches that can occur with a variety of triggers. A headache journal or the headache tracker here in the forum may help identify your triggers. Diagnosis of asthma is with complete medical history and further diagnostics including spirometry. To rule this out, have this performed and see your doctor for proper evaluation. Thyroid function tests will also determine if your thyroid is fine as mentioned above. Continue your present medications and you may also discuss anxiety medications with your  doctor after your antibiotic therapy. Take care and best regards.

It sounds like you might have more than one problem causing your symptoms.
your anxiety could easly cause the headaches and even the breathing problems your having. I would see an Allergist to fid out what allergies you might have. An allergy could cause your bresthing problems and hives.
Your hypothyroid my not be totally under controlled either and seeing an endocronologist would be able to tell if your synthroid dosage is where it should be for you.
If you do go to an endocronologist make sure they test your FT3 because your TSH may be ok and your FT4 may be ok but if your FT3 may not be and doctors should always be checked because of that reason.

I hope I was some what helpful to you
Feel Better Soon.
