Asking for Self, Female, 20 years old, pulmonologist
Salam. For a few months, I suddenly wake up to my throat closing up. I can feel a huge mass that doesn’t let me breathe and due to that and being severe uncomfortable as I cannot breathe, I wake up. Then, it takes me around an hour or two to swallow that mass down and be okay. Today, I woke up to choking not because of a huge mass, that was present in small quantities, but I could feel my lungs constricting. I suddenly was having trouble breathing, was having angina and a very hollow feeling in my chest. I developed violent coughing to somehow open the air passages and it got better after half an hour. I literally couldn’t breathe at all. After literally an hour or two, the same thing is happening again. It feels as if my ribs and chest are on fire. I do not smoke, do not have asthma ( not that I know of.) then why is this happening? Can any doctor guide me? Thank you so much. Jazakallah khair.
Any chest xray? Weight? Visit a pulmonologist nearby

Didn’t get any chest X-ray and I am not allowed to go to a hospital because my parents have never allowed me. They dont even let me out of the house. As for weight, its around 40ish 50. I lost 40 kgs too.

This could be panic attacks/anxiety too but need proper history and examination. 40 kg weight loss is not normal.
