I feel like I I have “small lungs” sometimes but I doubt it. There are multiple ways of breathing that you can practice. Look into pranayama breathing. There is something you can do right now…try focusing on bringing your breath into your stomach first. A lot of people fill their chest first which is much more shallow.

I have this same problem a lot. Even if it's not a panic attack, just feels like not enough air is getting in my lungs. I always pick a number like 7 or 8 (depends on how big your lungs are haha). But then i just count down while breathing in... then count down while breathing out. At first it might still feel like you aren't getting enough air but if you stay steady and just focusing on slowly breathing the best you can the bad feeling usually goes away.

Hope that helps!
