I cant breathe???Helpppp??

I can breathe fine when i forget about it but when its on my mind i feel i cant breathe the way i used to..and when i sit down i feel i can breathe better, and when i go to bed , i can lie on my stomach and ill be able to breathe fine. I had asthma when i was younger i THINK i grown out of it...also 'Sinus Problems/Allergies' runs through my family, and i already have been to the doctor , hospitals, etc they say its either all in my head or theres something wrong with me. i have a puffer for now but it dont really work no matter how strong it is..im kinda scared....mom says its anxiety but i really dont know,,i also live in a house with 5 smokers....but thats not it like i need your advice...and only sensible answers please cause people say the same stuff over and over like 'go see a doctor' 'oh you have allergies go get some allergy pills' LIKE I ALREADY KNOW THIS!!! but nothing works.....id say i tried everything. and yes, if you answer sensibly i will give you best answer ! promise!

I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist as well as a Registered Nurse. Hon, it sounds to me that if you are breathing fine one minute, then when you began to think about it and focus on your breathing you begin to feel short pf breath it has got to do with anxiety. Does you heart begin to feel as though it is racing as well? If so, you perhaps are having panic attacks as well. Its not good that you are living in a house with 5 smokers, but I am assuming that you are young and chances are you would not develope some kind of chronic lung disease at such a young age. Second hand smoke is JUST AS BAD for your health though. I know that you do not want to hear this but try some meditation and some deep slow breathing next time you feel one of these "attacks" come on. If this does not work you are going to have to seek some medical attention if it is something that is interfering with you life...perhaps some anti-anxiety medication if this is perhaps the problem. E-mail me if you have ANY questions at all sweetie :) Nikki
