I haven't been able to breathe lately and I'm starting to get really worried.....can someone help me PLEASE!!!?
Every time I take a breath, it feels like I don't get any air in, so i take deeper breaths, but it's like they don't go in all the way. It feels like I have a lot of pressure on my chest like someone is sitting on top of me. I'm not worried about anything, and it'll hit me at the most random times, like when I'm at a movie, at home, or even going to sleep. I notice that I yawn a lot while it's happening, it's not exactly pain, but I have an uncomfortable felling around my heart, or lungs, I can't tell, just in that area. It hits randomly but stays for a while. This happened once to me 4 years ago for a week, then went away, but it started up again recently and has been going on for a while. I can't go to sleep cause of how annoying it is, and I keep getting dizzy from it, so I don't want to drive when it happens. My mom thinks it's just an anxiety attack, and that we don't need to worry, I just need to know, if it is worth going to the doctors for, or if it'll blow over soon.

The same thing has been happening to me for the last two weeks and it's only started to go away recently. I also have asthma so it made my breathing feel even worse. One thing you can try is to breath from the stomach rather than the lungs, it will help you get more air. Another trick is to exhale all the way and stick a finger in your mouth with your lips tight enough that only a little air can get in. Then take a slow deep breath, this can sometimes help to expand your diaphragm and give you some relief.

well, if she is over weight look at it this way. Out bodies components (lungs, heart, liver ect...) work at a certain pace to maintain the rest of out body. If weight is accumulated in a quick manor or for that matter to much weight is gained even in a slow manner our bodies have to work harder to support all this extra mass. So if she is having troubles breathing it is saying her lungs are working to hard and get tired out easier because of the extra weight. as for whistling it could be wheezing which I as a asthma patient have plenty of or it could be the way she is holding her mouth when she is sleeping.
