My troubles for the past 2 months this year 2009
Most of the day from when I wake up I feel like I have a stuffy nose. But there’s no mucus. And sometimes midway threw the day my stuffiness just disappears! Then I keep breathing the same and maybe get to much oxygen? Start twitching picking dry blood snot balls from my nose and my heart starts to race and I can’t do anything about it. Where my inhales of air come in fast and my exhales do as well. Aka hyperventilation. And it’s really hard to stop!
Causing me to shake and jitter and have muscle spasm threw my whole body arms, shoulder, neck, face, nose, toes hands to name the most common. As well as energy surges threw parts or sometimes my whole body, or tingling on the head and other areas, and light abdominal pain. Its been happening for about a month or two now. It often is triggered while driving, simple exercise (like walking up my stairs), masturbation, and sometimes just out of the blue when it feels like it.
Constantly throughout the day I'm sniffling my nose now on the intake of a breath all the time and feeling like I'm thinking about it all the time now and not just simple breathing like second nature. Making it extremely hard to concentrate and to be still and relaxed. I've tried self massage, soothing music, hot bath, TV, going to see a therapist, breathing techniques, lying down.
To the point where im laying down a lot it bed and not doing anything productive and not doing the things I used to like to do IE. Bowling, Frisbee, driving, video games, hanging out with friends etc. It’s affecting my eating to where I probably only eat about half as much as I used too. I’ve also noticed decreased and small bowel movements.
What do I do!?!?! Lost my job, no insurance! I'm a mess! Tried a couple of interviews but I panic just like I say above and can barely talk to employers spurting out the quickest answers I can think of instead of saying the long well thought out right ones. Therefore, not getting the jobs and I have been applied online to several others with no responses or calls. It’s to the point where I'm now just seeing a therapist and taking the .25mg xanax that my general doctor prescribed and waiting to get some temporary insurance to try to get some lab work done on me. I really think it might be something physical too but I just have no clue about stuff like that and can't fathom what it could be without spending all the money that I have left!
I feel like I’m stuck in my bed not being able to do anything about it because I’m stuck in this gaping hole so big that even the tallest strongest basketball star couldn’t jump out of it. All I want to do is be able to communicate with other people that I don’t know (job interviews) so that I can get back on with my life as a cook! I find it hard though if I can’t even walk up some stairs sometimes without feeling this way. I think out of the two past months I’ve only felt “normal” for a week, not in a row either! Total number of days out of those two long months.

yeah doc's got me on .25mg xanax. I'm just so tired all the time because i cant get a good breath...and im 23 years old! i never had these problems! I just wish it wouldnt affect me playing frisbee 2 days a week with my friends.
Have no clue about black mold and how to trace it. But i do live in my basement. Tried to detect a gas leak nothing came up bad. I use gas.
sounds like anxiety to me.... and for your nose... sounds like it might be dry in your house. which causes dry blood snot balls. I get it everyday almost.
i also can never breath out of both nostrils at the same time... ever. one or the other is always stuffy... but rarely ever both. im not worried about it though. I live in Missouri, where pollen is around 365 days of the year.
I also havnt had an appetite for 2 weeks almost... im still eating... but im having to make myself eat... b/c nothing sounds good...
this is just anxiety.
have you tried an anti-depressant? this might help take the edge off.... and help your mind not race as much...
good luck.
you'll be fine! =)
