Thanks Dagun.
My problems doesnt sound as severe as yours but along the same kind of thing. I dont think mine is stress related although i do have times where theres a fair amount of stress in my life.
I hope that with the results of you respiration test (im not sure of the correct name for it) you get some answers and help for your breathing difficulties as well.

Thank heavens my problems isnt as unpleasant as you'ure sounds Alex.
I do hope you can find an answer and cure or some help for what you go through it must be awful. :(
Ive had the test too, and mine was really good, so thats not the problem which led me to think of the MS as a possible cause.
Guess i'll have to wait till i see the doc for the next step.
Thanks for the idea.
Ive spoken to my doctor about it and she's given me an inhalers to try out to see if they help which they do.
I see her again in a week or so , so will see where i go from here.
Thanks i didn't know what to call it, but its reassuring to know that others have it too.
I just wanted to check that i wasnt becoming a hypochondriac :)
I get diaphragm spasms. It is like I have had the wind knocked out of me. It goes in waves. I sweat profusely and the only comfortable position is on the ground on my back with my arms straight over my head. I have to be perfectly still. I take a disolving ALprazalom. I can't talk sometimes I am weak for days after.

I've had air hunger for a long time. I've gone through testing and there's nothing wrong with my respiration. My breathing out seems a bit weak, but intake is just fine. Could possibly be weakness in the diaphragm. I also have a lesion on the pons.
Am wondering if a sleep study might shed some light on your problem. Sleep Apnea can be dangerous, not to frighten you, but it might be worth checking out.
Also interested in the answer -- I'm in limbo have have been fighting this thing for almost a month now --inhaler makes it worse though. I've had a whole bunch of tests and now a referral to a lung specialist -- so far everything is normal (except for the rib tightness/chest pain/breathing part).
The term for not feeling you are getting enough oxygen is "air hunger" according to my doctor.
Last week I did a "blowingtest?" (don´t know the English word) and it was a little bit abnormal, like I did not blow out everything I was supposed to. But I don´t know if this is related. I hope you will find out what is happening to you.
My best,
Dagun
