I’ve asked this before but I’m really only posting for my own reassurance and would appreciate any and all comments. Is it common to have shortness of breath or a feeling of breathing difficulty frequently if not most of the time if I have GAD?
I do have asthma but I don’t know if it’s that or the GAD or a combination of both. 24/7 symptoms are extremely scary and tricky.

Breathlessness is certainly a common symptom of GAD. Anxiety often makes itself known in that part of the body where we have a weakness so maybe the anxiety is reviving the asthma a bit.
One of my main symptoms and it was terrible. I'd wake up out of breath, I'd freak out when doing exercises and getting out of breath. If I got breathless I'd panic even more then nearly hyperventilate, I never actually did but almost. You have to try and control your breathing or just let your body go with it
