Okay so I'm 20. I feel like I can't breathe properly, as if I'm not getting enough oxygen into my lungs which causes me to feel lightheaded and dizzy. I also can't do a full yawn sometimes and like i need to yawn every couple of minutes. It usually takes me 6 or 7 tries to get the satisfaction, its the same as the breathing.
I am a smoker, have been for 6 months BUT I've been having this exact problem since I was 5 years old and the only thing the doctor will do is put that thing to my chest and back and ask me to take deep breaths but I don't have the breathing issue when I'm in the doctors office seeing as i only talk to him for 5 minutes.
Doctor also said It could be anxiety and yes I've had anxiety and depression before but like I said, it's been happening since I was 5. Sometimes when I try to get that oxygen satisfaction after a while, my shoulders hurt near my chest area(like the colar bone area) and i can't take deep breaths again for about 5 minutes.
He hasn't even mentioned the possibility of it being Asthma or anything else besides stress and axiety but that can't be it for the reason i stated above and also because it happens 24/7 every single day even when i'm calm and i'm stress free! Dad thinks I'm crazy too, like it's all in my head, but it's not. I've tried breathing exercises and i walk alot and i drink a lot of water and everything and yeah, since I was 5! and I'm pretty sure i wasn't suffering from anxiety or anything when I was 5 so thats another reason.
Does anyone else have the same problem and if they can help? I feel like i'm about to faint or worse, die! (link)

i've started getting the exact same thing as well including pain in the shoulder when trying to yawn my stupid doctor says there is nothing wrong but bull**** if i can't breathe i think that is something not right to be fair it is driving me insane all i can concentrate on is trying to breathe properly i wanted to try an asthma pump but doc wouldn't give me one so i'm gonna try vicks on my chest also the doc did say one thing about inhaling steam to help but htf i'm gonna do that without burning my face off i'll never know i ain't got the money or patience for a steam room so i will be going back to the docs soon to try again if i know anything more about this i will let you know also i don't know if you have slight stabbing pain just under your ribs by the stomach but i do just wonderin if it's only me.
Also i'm 23 and i have been smoking for over 10 years but i don't think that has much to do with it as you have only been smoking 6 months.
