Hello,
I was wondering if anyone might know what is wrong with me. I have been having really bad breathing problems. I will be fine then all of a sudden i can't breathe and I need to sit down. I see black spots and feel lightheaded when I get up.Sometimes it makes me feel sick to my stomach. Also, when this happens I yawn alot. Is this asthma or something?? Thanks so much.!

That isn't asthma - you may have some stress issues or some other ailment.
Maybe these are panic attacks? See below:
==============================================
More Common Symptoms of panic attacks include:
Rapid heart beat, pounding heart or palpitations
Sweating
Shaking visibly or inside
Choking sensations or lump in throat
**Smothering or shortness of breath sensations
Chest pain or discomfort
**Nausea, bloating, indigestion or abdominal discomfort
Dizziness or unsteadiness
**Feeling light-headed
Derealisation (feeling unreal or dreamy)
Depersonalisation (feeling outside yourself or like you don't exist)
Fear of losing control or going crazy
Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) in face, extremities or body
Chills or hot flushes
Skin losing color
Blushing or skin blotches
Urgently needing to urinate or defecate
==============================================
Whatever the symptoms, I wouldn't delay in making a doctor's appointment. Explain these symptoms, and try to recall how often you've experienced them.
Good luck. : )

The yawning can actually be a sign of heart problems! my mother had this going on for a while, and When she got around to telling her doc, he said he wanted an EEG and EKG and a whole lotta other tests! When he did an MRI, he found that she has an aortic aneurysm or bubble of blood that may burst near her heart, and is life threatening! don't ignore this, all of this is your body telling you to find out what is wrong!

hmm... black spots? lightheaded? looks like you're hyperventilating. im not saying it is, but a panic attack could be triggering this without you knowing it. it's hard to see what's going on with you because you need to have tests done so we could look at the results and see what's going on. i suggest you speak to your physican about this.

r u on any medication,or recreational drugs? some of them (or cutting them down) might cause such symptoms.
