Basically, I feel like I cannot breathe properly almost constantly. I get an urge to yawn or sigh, over and over, its just exhausting.
Sometimes i cannot yawn, or breathe in deeply, and I start freaking out. Especially if I am in public where I think people will notice me and my little breathing fits.
It is HORRIBLE.
Now, I have gained 30 pounds, since around december of last year. I am afraid to exercise because even walking up some stairs carrying grocceries makes my breathing trouble worsen.
I get an aching feeling in my back, between my shoulder blades, and i just cannot get enough air in. It is so horrible I am really not sure where to go from here.
I just had an ultrasound, a chest x-ray, bloodwork and am trying a drug apo-rantidine for sour stomache to see if that helps my breathing as well.
So far, the ultrasound and x-ray have come back normal except i found out i have a horseshoe kidney which isn't a problem for me since i don't have any bladder trouble.
I just want to be able to live life without this breathing haunting every move I make.
I really need to exercise, I don't want to weigh 300 pounds and have a heart attack

I am really scared and everything just seems to be going downhill. I am a model, and now that I am gaining weight I can barely do any work and its so depressing.
If anyone can help me, or has ideas or experience with this please let me know.
Someones suggested jsut consiously NOT taking the deep breaths but when I try to fight the urge my back starts to ache and I panic thinking i am going to make the problem worse and i cannot get it to ease up ever again.
I am really scared of making it worse somehow.
PLEASE if anyone can help me, please post!
