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?

I'm feeling really worried because I usually get panic attacks and my cardiologist had me go through ECG, echo, TMT, and X-ray, and everything came back normal. But yesterday, I had another panic attack, went to the GP, did an ECG, and was having shortness of breath. The GP said it's just an anxiety attack, but I'm still scared something might be wrong. Could you take a look at my ECG and let me know if everything is truly okay?

I don't have access to any attached files. However, based on your description and the tests you have already undergone, it seems like your symptoms are related to anxiety attacks. To manage your anxiety symptoms, you can try taking Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5mg as needed when you feel a panic attack coming on. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also help in reducing the frequency and intensity of your panic attacks.

I'm feeling really stuck with this porn addiction and it's taking a big toll on my time and energy. Lately, whenever I'm alone in my room at night, I can't help but watch porn until I fall asleep, and I end up masturbating. I've tried to control it myself, but it's just not working and it's affecting my productivity. Could you please offer some advice on how to overcome this?
