depression causes shortness of breath

I had severe shortness of breath and other symptoms due to severe bradypnea. At my worst, breathing dropped down to 6 breaths a minute. Bradypnea is my worst symptom of hypothyroidism. Bradypnea can lead to hypoxemia (low oxygen) and hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide). I had a false normal pulse oximeter (a sensor device placed on the fingertip) reading due to high carbon dioxide in the blood. Excerpt from Respiratory function in thyroid disease...

Hello. I've had shortness of breath, chest pains and side pains x2 weeks now. I started with this cough that won't go ago a week ago. Went to my dr and she did a chest x-ray and labs. The chest x-ray was normal and all of the labs but the D-Dimer came back normal. They gave me a shot of steroids and started me on prednisone. I've been on the prednisone since last Friday and don't feel any better. I did a stat CT of my chest last Friday which came back fine.

I've heard a lot of people talk about having shortness of breath. I wanted to pick your brains on this forum and see if you've heard about it being related to MS. I have recurring mild shortness of breath, best described as 'air hunger.' It's one of those things that comes and goes, like the bladder, the weak leg and the sleepy hands, so I think it must be neurological.

shortness of breath, exactly as you describe, with no apparent cause. I have a mitral valve prolapse (floppy heart valve) which usually causes no problems, but I am wondering if there is a link. Heart & lung monitoring at the weekend showed no abnormality. That sensation of having to take a deep breath just to get enough air is pretty scary. Am seeing my GP this week, but am trying to prepare for him saying that it's all in my head (not likely)!

The first doctor’s suggestion of the diagnosis of Hyperventilation, in the face of “tingling on my hands and arms”, is reasonable but the recurrent shortness of breath is worrisome and you should be reevaluated for other causes of shortness of breath, some more serious, most notably recurrent blood clots to the lungs (pulmonary emboli) . You also mention that your “heart was racing” yesterday, on your way to the train.

This may be something that is nothing to worry about, but there are very serious causes of shortness of breath, so follow up with your doctor as soon as you are able. If you are having shortness of breath associated with chest pain, go to the emergency room.

Last month, my pulmonologist told me that I am D deficient (my level is 20 and I am taking 5,000/day) and I was wondering if others with Vitamin D deficiency experience shortness of breath?

Shortness of breath is the result of any one of dozens of diseases of the heart or lungs. If you really "feel great" when you wake up and, if that means that you have no shortness of breath in the early morning, at rest or with exertion, it is highly likely that your problem is related to your activities and exposures during the day; activities and/or exposures that could worsen asthma. That would be the most likely scenario. Unfortunately, anxiety could be another cause. Sorry.

At the time I had PFT test done becuase I was experiencing anxiety and vague shortness of breath (in the morning waking up). The PFT results were normal and above predicted at that time.

Also I was more winded that usual during my workouts.

On January 18th, I experienced a tight chest during a family dinner that caused me to leave early. I took 1.5MG of Ativan after about 1.5 hours of this tight chest and shortness of breath.

The 19th I experienced no breathing problems at all. The 20th I had shortness of breath that came and went.

I feel scared. Someone said the mild edema that day could of been cause of the vomiting.
