Brathing difficulty and chiropractic

Hi..I find it difficult to breath for past month , feel like i can't take full breath,most of the times and feel tight in stomac and heavy.Can not eat much.When i eat, i feel food is stuck in throat.Went to see my Family doc, and he did chest xray and it came clear. He gave me Nexium for 1 week to try  and no improvement and i went to him again, he said it looks like phycological (though i said no)he also checked and said  i have spasms in stomac and gave me another medication to relieve .I am using it currently, but no use. He also gave me nasal spray as one of my nosetrills is blocked, saying the that is the cause. blockage is released but did not help with breathing.btw..i had constipation a year ago. He also gave a  relaxant assuming i am tensed  and ventilin, assuming it's Asthma related. No use so far. the breathing sometimes feels ok, but suddenly i  stat gasping for breath and feel tight in stomac and kind of bloated , and eventually  brath it comes out as yawn..some times i yawn for 100 times a day. Becoming unbearable. I have read on this forum, this could be fixed by Chiropractor. Can some one share with me, how this can be chiropractic related and how many adjustments  they do to fix it. I am asking this,as i heard, chiropractors, drag the issue, to make more money and more visits. Please advise, if this is chiropractic related or any other natural way. Thank you all.

blood clot in lungs are very dangerous.... you have to do a CT-scan on chest to see if there is any problem in the lungs..

i take blood thinning medicines because the doctor suspected it.

You may finds something of use in the post:

both it and your post are the same subject.

Blood clots can be serious, I am surprised your doctor appears not to be concerned.  I don't know what test is made, but perhaps you should be put on a blood "thinner" to clear out any clot.  Aspirin is a weak form of a "thinner" but Warfarin (a prescriptions drug) may be worth a try... your doctor has to make that decision it may in fact be the wrong thing to do.

I take warfarin because of a heart problem, but the goal is the same: stop the formation of clots.

i also got the same problem. i need to take deep breaths all the time. before i never even thinked about my breathing but now i constatly feel like i need more air.

what chest x ray did you do? are you sure..
because sometimes chest xray does not show blood clots in the lungs.
