I'm having trouble with shortness of breath that's been around for about three years, and sometimes I also feel a bit of chest pain on the right side. I went to see a chest physician who did an X-ray and said everything looked normal. He suggested I should see a psychiatrist because it could be tension-related. I'm feeling a bit lost here. Is there really a connection between tension and these physical symptoms? Should I still consider pursuing more tests for my breathing issues?

Question

I'm Nikhil Gunjal from Ghatkopar, Mumbai, and I'm really worried because for the past two years, I've been dealing with what I believe are effects of black magic. It feels like someone is harming my body, and it's really frustrating not being able to identify who might be doing this. I'm convinced it's something external causing harm and even have proof to support my concerns. Can you offer any guidance or suggest what steps I can take to address this situation?
