    Yes this definitely sounds alot like anxiety . I usually describe mine as a tight feeling in my breathing, when i breathe it doesn't feel like my breaths are deep enough or that i'm getting enough air in.

    yes anxiety or panic attack is probably the answer. I have them fairly often but I handle them much better now than I used to. My doc gave me anti depressants and anti anxiety meds and they stopped but the side effects were worse than the attacks. I only get about one a week now but they are pretty bad. Good luck
