Finding it hard to breath.

I woke up last night feeling like a had something stuck in my chest. It took me a while to get back to sleep as I was fully focused on my breathing. Today I have felt short of breath all day! I don't feel like I am panicked but I am definitely noticing my shortness of breath and it's scary. Would I go to see a doctor or is this just anxiety? I also seem to struggle with mucus and it feels like it makes it harder to breath. I hate this. :-(

I could have written that myself I'm sitting here thinking much the same shall I go to doctors or is it anxiety. My throat feels like something is blocking it phlegm I think my tongue feels swollen and a bit sore . I don't know what to do  but in my heart I know I had similar before but it really is getting to me today I don't really want to go to the doctors to be told it's anxiety. Then the what if thought runs through my mind. 

Health anxiety sucks.

So they are doing blood tests and a chest x ray next week. I'm sure that will keep me worrying for the next few days! The viscous circle never ends. :-(
