I am diagnosed with GAD. All my 32 years of life I suffer anxiety. Since kindergarten. 

I have been prescribe Zoloft and Xanax. 

My anxiety physical manifestations:
1) difficulties in breathing
(Cannot take it a full satisfying breath, my lungs feels tight like it’s restricting me from a proper breathing.)
2) Very gas-sy. Keep burp and pass out wind. 

My psychiatrist mentioned that Zoloft will help alter the chemicals in my mind and I’ll be able to breathe better. And take Xanax when you have panic attack. 

I have not taken Zoloft and refuse to take it but I’m ok with Xanax. 

The problem is, even though I am NOT feeling anxious at all, and even I try to take a deep breath again, I can’t!!!

Why is it like that? I’m feeling more anxious becoz of this!! No anxiety, why still can’t breathe! 

Anyone understands?
