So since March of 2020 (around the time Covid began to become a thing, at least where I’m from) I’ve experienced breathlessness every now and again and I’m wondering if it’s linked to anxiety? I’ve never had it looked at by GP or anyone as it’s never massively effected me. I sleep fine, work fine, socialise fine etc.

I go weeks of being absolutely perfect but every now and again it creeps up. Yesterday I had a mole removed for biopsy, results to come in five weeks and I pretty much have myself self diagnosed with melanoma and 6 feet under by February.

Since yesterday, my breathlessness is back. To be fair, breathlessness is probably the wrong word. That feeling of not being able to take that nice deep breath that fills your lungs? And then being freaked out when you can’t? I’m sorry if I’m describing it poorly but I’m hoping someone out there understands what I’m trying to say! 

Needless to say, I do suffer with health anxiety and whilst I know there’s a sub for this, it doesn’t appear to be as active so I hope it’s ok to post here.

Can anyone confirm if the two are linked? I know they are according to Dr. Google but just looking for others who may be experiencing it too, I guess.
