These past months I've been getting these really weird symptoms. First, really bad chest pain which my mom said was heartburn. Then it wasn't so bad, and I started coughing and wheezing really bad, which my mom said was normal. So after, I got this feeling of someone choking me, and it was really hard to breathe. Also, a really bad ringing in my ears, like a loud BEEEP.
Now I've been getting these unexplained attacks in which my whole body starts shaking so much I cant stand up. What is this?

I'm not a doctor so I can't give you any professional answers but I have experienced some of these symptoms, actually all of them but not at once, and I may be able to give you some of my thoughts on it.
I've always had heartburn bad, which I also didn't know that was what it was until a few months ago, also the coughing and wheezing really bad and I've always had that ringing in my ears, too.. I went to a doctor and found out I had asthma and I smoke too so that made it 10x's worse so since I've got my inhaler it helps alot and it eases the coughing and weezing and the choking feeling.
As for the shaking, if you are going through any kind of emotional changes such as depression or stress you could be having panic attacks which can be harmful if you don't go see a doctor.
I think your best bet would be, which I'm sure this isn't the answer you were looking for, but go to the doctor and explain your symptoms to him/her and she was he/she has to say about it because it could be more serious than what I've been saying.
Until you can get to a doctor, I'd go purchase or if you already have one plug up a humidifier and sleep with it on and maybe it will ease the tightness in your chest and the wheezing. I'd chill out with some cough drops for a while also (I perfer Vick's, Vick's cures everything for me LOL) to help with the coughing or purchase some medicine such as Robatussin to help you sleep and get rid of the coughing.
With the heartburn, all I've ever took was Tums but I would NOT suggest eating them like candy because they can be harmful if you eat too many of them and become a problem with your stomach.
As for the ringing in your ears, I really don't know what to tell you, but pray for the best and try to get some rest.
Stay calm, get some sleep, and do something relaxing to help you with the shaking.
I hope this helps a bit.

I'm not the doctor but what you're describing sounds like a pretty severe asthma attack. Hurry in to see your physician as asthma can be fatal. I'm thinking you're lucky to be here. It is not uncommon to not survive an asthma attack. You moms may be in denial; it is definitely not normal to have chest pains, coughing and wheezing. Hopefully you can talk her into getting you in to see a physician asap!

Chest pain,coughing,wheezing and having trouble breathing are all symptoms of asthma.The ringing in your ears and the shaking I really don't know what could be causing that.Go to your E.R. ASAP.They will take good care of you.If you don't have insurance they will bill you.Take care.

You might have asthma. Inflammation, airway restriction and couching/wheezing are all signs. Time to visit the doc.

I prescribe a visit to your doctor. -It could be anything from the beginning of the next world-wide Pandemic- to an acute case of hypochondria...-You'll never know unless you find out (or it's TOO late...).
