15 and freaked out. What could this be..?!
Question: A couple weeks ago, I was out with my sister and our friend, and out of nowhere, I started having a little trouble breathing, and my face lost all its colour. Then, my head started clouding over and I felt a lot of pressure, like my brain was trying to push its way out of my head, then my hearing muffled, I lost the strength in my whole body, and collapsed to the floor. This lasted about 5 minutes. I have had troubles breathing again three times between then and now. I went to the doctor, and they took blood, it came out perfect. I just had trouble breathing again at midnight, I went outside for a minute to get some fresh air, and when I walked back inside, I started losing my balance and I tripped my way back to my couch where I am now. Any idea what could be wrong??
Any advice or anything is helpful, thank you.

Are there any symptoms preceding the attacks? When you are having trouble breathing, does it feel like your throat is closed off and blocking air; or does everything seem normal, but there's no air; or does it feel like the muscles used in breathing are not working? Does your pulse/heart rate change when his happens?
All the symptoms you have beside the breathing problem are due to a lack of oxygen. You could be having very severe asthma attacks, and that wouldn't show up in a blood test.
Primatene-Mist and AsthmaHaler are asthma meds your parents could pick up without a prescription - this might help a little if the problem is asthma.
I think you should go back to the doctor and if they don't tell u anything ask to speak to another physician. This definately is not normal and u need to find out bfore something worse possibly happens.
Well. The times this has been happening, had you eaten much if anything that day? If not, It could be your blood-pressure. Or, possibly, hypoglycemia. Maybe also dehydration? If you can, I would get a tall glass of cold water, and fruit of some sort (for natural sugar!) and see if that helps! Sometimes this happens to me, not so intense though, and eating something with natural sugar in it helps a ton! Hope you'll be okay sweetie!
It could be so many things from an inner ear infection,anemia,to low or high blood sugar or asthma.You should go to the hospital though in case it's something more serious.
I have the same thing.
I don't know what it is but are you on birth control ? cuz thats what me and my mom think happened to me. so she told me to stop taking them and i have been fine for a while. but it could be many things have you tried researching the symptoms to see whats possible ?
