Ive been having a panic attack everyday for the past week and even when im not having one i still focus on my breathing and feel like im breathing weird. I get scared because of covid-19 but my breathing is the only thing that's feels wrong/weird. This morning i had a panic attack and now my chest tightness won't go away and it hurts. I also feel like im breathing weird. Can panic attacks do that to your body, or could something be actually wrong? One of the main reasons my panic attacks started is because of covid-19 now im just constantly scared.

Even when you consider pain and tightness in your chest as Anxiety it is important you get checked by your Doctor, Telephone the Surgery and explain how you feel, your Doctor will put your mind at rest

Panic attacks can do this but I would see your doctor just to be safe! (It’s probably nothing to worry about but a doctor will put your mind as ease)
