I have a 17 year old son who is miserable. He has been struggling since he was 7 years old. His first symptom was not being able to catch his breath, it has snowballed from there. He has shortness of breath, severe floaters in his eyes, tingling and numbness in his hands, feet, and sometimes in his cheek, hypothyroidism, allergies to trees, weeds, and grasses, headaches everyday, sometimes very sharp pains in his head, and lightheadedness at times. All except the allergies, and thyroid, we have been told it's all in his head. He has had cat scans, chest xrays, and blood work countless times. No one seems to listen, and they are all very quick to dismiss this as anxiety, or panic attacks. He lives with this ALL day long every day. If someone out there could help us with any information or ideas, we would be so grateful.
