I (34m) have struggled with anxiety for years, particularly when it involves my job, regardless of where I’m working at the time. I’ve gotten therapy for this but am between therapists at the moment. 

I’ve never had a full panic attack in my life and feel lucky in that way. However, things at work and in my life in general have been fairly chaotic the past couple weeks without signs of letting up quite yet and I’ve noticed at points throughout the day I feel like I need to inhale a large amount of air for some reason (I even open my mouth wider to do so) like I haven’t been breathing well enough or something (I’m not actually noticing having any issues breathing during the day though).

I was wondering if needing to do that might have anything to do with how panic attacks start, anxiety, etc.?
