I m having a really, really, REALLY hard time breathing. Maybe it s because I m classified overweight or I have severe anxiety, but I don t believe this is the case. I ve been overweight since the end of elementary and my severe anxiety has been with me for almost two years, but these new problems have only appeared in the past year or so. Even at rest, if I don t focus all of my energy on breathing normally, I breathe like I just ran five miles. And exerting myself, even a little (like going upstairs, picking up something and moving it somewhere else), leaves me completely breathless for at least five minutes, normally longer. And it actually hurts to breathe. My lungs are always burning and my throat feels like someone s clawing at it from the inside. It just feels like I never have enough air around me to take in.
If you can focus your body into breathing normally and succeed, you do not have a problem with your lungs or your heart as if you did, you would never succeed without treatment. You could be having obstructive sleep apnea syn Chat Doctor.  The upper airway collapses on breathing in and this causing excess snoring at night and lethargy and sleepiness in the daytime. You have no energy because you haven't slept well. The treatment is losing weight and nasal CPAP. A small surgery of the upper airway is also helpful. You need to get a test called polysomnography to diagnose this. If your chest and throat are burning, you might have a gastric reflux. Would suggest an endoscopy and pantoprazole/ coastal for 10 days.
