out of breath feeling

[austinali66]

My health anxiety has been up and down for a while, but on the whole doing ok. What has been worrying me recently is a bit hard to describe. Even by doing something small like going upstairs I feel a bit like I cant catch my breath or tight chested. It also feels like congestion in my throat, like i want to keep clearing my throat, sometimes its feels a bit like my heart is racing. I am awaiting treatment for fibroids which I have been told are the size of being 16 weeks pregnant, could that be it?
Also when I went for a hospital appointment a few weeks ago the nurse said my blood pressure was a bit high. I dont normally have high blood pressure so was a bit surprised, being HA sufferer I don get very anxious and wound up about hospital appointments so maybe that. I havent plucked up courage to get it checked again. I am not overweight and I can run a slow 5k!
Not coping very well with any of this today and mind is racing as to what is going on.
