**SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEAD PRESSURE, FATIGUE, DIFFICULTY YAWNING**

[Kaci_mxm]

Hello,

I am a young, fit 21 year old female & I am confused as to why i am having all these difficulties! The symptoms are almost constant & very much frustrating. Waking up in the morning is difficult for me & throughout the day I feel fatigued. I have difficulty taking a deep breath as well as taking in a FULL yawn- I get half way through it & I feel like it just shuts down on me. I also have blurred vision at times as well as pressure behind my eyes as well as my head in general. I have also been sneezing & hiccuping LIKE CRAZY for the past month & a 1/2!!! This is going to sound crazy, but when I am talking or singing or doing anything that has to do with using breath, my head gets so much pressure built up that it scares me && I cease what ever I am doing at that very moment. I was in the hospital back in April with viral meningitis & while I was being treated for that  I had a brain scan & blood work done & they found nothing wrong with me...I'm not sure if any of these symptoms are any kind of aftermath, but I would like an answer as to what is going on with me. If anyone can help, please feel free to respond to this message!

Thanks,
Kaci

Hi,
How are you? Do you still experience these shortness of breath? This could be due to pulmonary or cardiac issues as well and needs to be evaluated further by your doctor. Do you have history of asthma or  smoking? Spirometry is often done to see if there is a problem with your pulmonary function. Take care and do keep us posted.

Hi,
How are you? What tests were done? Pre-syncope or feeling faint may be due to lack of oxygen or blood in the brain. While dizziness can be due to many causes such as lowered blood glucose, hypotension, underlying medical conditions such as anemia, eye or ear problems, etc. It is important that your chest pains be evaluated further to rule out cardiac causes. You may need to have this evaluated further for proper diagnosis. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

I am 19 and also suffer from shortness of breath and head pressure, which sometimes evolves into weakness, dizziness, and chest pain. I'm not very active, but I'm not overweight, either. I basically feel like I'm on the verge of passing out constantly and have felt this way for three months.

I've had many tests done and have yet to find an answer.

did u ever figure out what was wrong with you? I also have trouble getting a deep breath and can never get a deep yawn in. I am 19 years old and run track and xc for my college so I am also fit and have been dealing with being short of breath for almost a year now and no one can figure anything out :( When I try to exercise my head also does start to hurt sometimes.
