I've been to the doctor and they said everything's clear--but I still have problems breathing.

For about 3 or 4 days now, I've been having crippling air hunger. It's very hard for me to yawn / take a deep breath, but I feel a strong sensation in my lungs to do it every minute. It's stressful and horrible. I went to the hospital and they checked EVERYTHING. CT scan, x-ray, blood tests, urine samples, EVERYTHING. But my body looks perfectly healthy. They said everything looks fine.

They said the culprit was anxiety but I've never ever experienced anything like this before, even when I have anxiety attacks. My body feels fine otherwise. I get chest pains from trying so hard to breathe in but that's it. I don't know what to do any more. It's making the anxiety feeling worse.
