Out of breath

I’ve been extremely aware of my breathing and feeling like I can’t breath. I also sometimes get pains in my chest. It didn’t come on all of a sudden It’s been happening for a few day’s.

Yes I’ve been like that also even with a cough sometimes . I’m sure it’s just anxiety .

I have had a tight feeling in my throat for weeks now and feels like its going to stop me from breathing but had blood test and everything came back normal. Altho mine feels better when I'm eating but is there from me waking up to going to sleep. I think some of it could be muscle tension through anxiety. Have you spoken to your Dr about it to see what they suggest and that it's nothing serious? Anxiety can cause many sensations and symptoms but would get in touch with Dr if u haven't already they may be able to help you if it is anxiety related. It very much could be if you are worried about what's going on in the world right now as there are many of us struggling through this.

Hope you find your answers and feel better soon 😊

I’ve been going to see doctors for about 4 years and I’ve had test that are all clear but it never puts my mind at ease and I still think there’s something wrong

Yes it is most definitely sounds like anxiety then. Have you tried any mindfulness and meditation. I find this helps as sometimes the tightness of the muscles cause a lot of the symptoms we feel to do with breathing. X
