Hello Doctor, Im a 39 year old female who has suffered from anxiety for over a year. For the last few months I have been having a feeling of not being able to get a full breath into my lungs and a tightness in my throat. Is this related to the anxiety or could it be something really bad?
Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor You are having history of anxiety problem... Hence, your symptoms most likely seems to be related to anxiety induced panic attack... Here before labelling it as anxiety induced rule out respiratory problem by chest x-ray and spirometry...... If this comes normal than treatment for anxiety started with alprazolam like Chat Doctor. . Yoga and meditation will be beneficial to Take care Consult pulmonologist for examination with keeping all this in mind Hope your concern solved
