I apoligize if anyone is offended that I am asking for professional opinions to a personal problem but we really need an educated opinion.
My husband has been having trouble breathing for the past two months. He just told me on Saturday night so I told him that he should see a dr. this week. Today it became much worse so he went to the ER. He says that he was having a very difficult time breathing and his hands and feet were numb to tingling. In the ER they did a chest X-ray and blood work. I believe from his decription that a blood gas test was done, but no EKG. The Dr told him that he is having an anxiety attack and prescribed Zanex. My hubby told the Dr repeatedly (as well as the nurse) that he was not under any unusual stress. My husband is 31 healthy, works out 4 times a week, is 5' 10", 170 Lbs. He does have ulcerative colitis but it is under control and he is not on meds for it. He has never been diagnosed with asthma but does have allergies.
Does this sound like anxiety to you or should we seek a second opinion? He is home now and is still having a hard time breathing although without the numbness in the extremities.
