Already teste for diabetes and I don't have it.
I've never had shortness of breath started 2 weeks ago, and it comes and goes. I think i have anemia because of other symptons like hair loss, exaustion,etc.
I've been taking pm since august last year, and never had any problem...
I have no idea what's wrong with me, I'm scared.
I took PM for a year before my shortness of breath issues started. I was SO scared, that's why I posted this in hopes I could help someone else experiencing the same level of absolute terror. I went to the doctor at the time, told him about the PM/SP, and he was completely useless in finding the source of my issues. It was awful.
Apparently, its a symptom of blood thickening. Here's a link with several foods that can thin the blood that may help. http://www.healtharticles101.com/top-10-natural-blood-thinners-for-thick-blood/
Also, I had some issues with thinning hair and fatigue myself around that time, and when I had testing done my vit D was low...so maybe try a D3 supplement for that. My doctor says most people today have a deficiency. Not as sure about this one as the blood thickening though. Your hair loss/fatigue could be unrelated to vit D levels.
Didn't think anyone was going to respond to this. I hope my post was helpful. I know how scary shortness of breath can be. Sorry you're having issues with it. At the time, I just stopped taking pm for a month or so....started back and the shortness of breath returned. so then moved on to synthetics with no issues. Looking back though, I think some blood thinning foods could've helped.
Also, avoid too much vitamin K. It's found in leafy green vegetables like spinach, cabbage, stuff like that. It's a blood thickener, so high levels of it would make the shortness of breath worse. ( and I thought I was eating healthy at the time! lol)
Good luck! If you're getting tested maybe give vit D levels a look? and blood platelet count/size? If you're like me, lung function and O2 levels will be normal.
