Docs say I'm fine, yet still get symptoms~ help!?

Question

I've been to the ER, personal doctor, allergist, and now pulmonary specialist and received god knows how many differend meds for Asthma breathing related problems.

Tests show clear chest, excellent oxygen levels, and pretty much no signs of anything wrong with me.

The doctors look at me puzzled.

Yet I still get asthma symptoms, and sometimes they're enough to make me dizzy.

I don't cough. I don't wheeze. And I do not have mucus.

Yet I have the squeezing, tightness, slight burning pains, and stuffy nose, choking throat sensations that come with the asthma.

I'm not sure what's causing that, and I don't think my doctors know either, since nothing is showing up.

I'm frustrated at this point.

If i'm healthy and fine, why am I still getting ashtma symptoms

Answer 1

This is going to sound 'silly' but here we go. During one hot summer, not long after unleaded gas came on the market, I ran up three flights of stairs to the multistory car park. As soon as I got to my car, Hades broke out. I could not catch me breath, my heart was racing out of control and I was light headed. My Doc was just around the corner, drove, arrived still in this state. He gave me the asthma inhalers? I do not have asthma! He reckoned it was because the fumes from the traffic had not ventilated the area and I had a serious allergic reaction. Might be certain 'things' are triggering your symptoms, now you need to be aware and figure out what they are. The Doc are not going to be helpful, unless they follow you around 24/7, weeks on end.

Answer 2

Panic attacks have similar symptoms. Are you really stressed? You may want to ask you doc about it. I am not an expert though.

Answer 3

Could be anxiety. If you are not wheezing, then you do not have asthma - any doctor should tell you that.
