Yes definitely a symptom. There's a thing on the internet that shows you how to breath during an anxiety attack. It helped me a lot.

Yes unfortunatley it is one of the physical symptoms that can come from anxiety, The list  of symptoms are endless and they can come and go.

Breathing through your nose can help. And rest assured that no matter how hard it feels to breath and you feel you cant breath... you wont stop breathing it is anxiety.. anxiety cannot harm you, it makes you uncomfortable and feel scared and shaky etc. 

Mindfulness meditation is very good at retraining your mind on how to react to the feelings of panic/anxiety and how to accept the feelings instead of fighting them.

Sounds weird i know.. but try reading up on it ... info available on the net.

I do it daily and its helped me.

You have to keep it up every day as physical symptoms can linger for sometime after the anxiety goes.

But a healthier mind is a healthier happier you xx

Good luck lovely 

Give it a whirlnx

This sounds like your Anxiety, you may need to control your fears, see your Doctor

I too have been going through similar symptoms. Daily feeling of being short of breath. Its not like I'm gasping for air, its the feeling of being tough to breath almost, and I feel it in my throat. My levels and tests all pan out, but yet, I still feel the same way. Doctor did say its anxiety and my therapist is doing EMDR, another type of therapy and instead of putting me on the pharmacetuicals right way, put me on GABA and 5-HTP, just natural varients of the same stuff. Been a few weeks and I feel mellow and calm, but its still there. I have a Pulmonary function test on Tuesday but after that, they really don't wan't to go any further. Its always hard to accept that its something in our heads causing the symptoms, although real and legitimate, but man, I hate it. I run daily and I can feel it while running but can run a 5K and not drop dead so Its got to be psychosomatic right!!!

Hey there and I'm sorry that you too are battling this anxiety. It is really tough indeed,and what's worse are the symptoms that come along. Search 100 symptoms of anxiety and you'll see just how much our body goes through with anxiety. It is weird and very hard to believe but it's true. I have experienced shortness of breath lots of times thinking i have lung cancer,heart problems and stuff..it goes away,comes  back..it's always like that, The only thing you can do to break the cycle,is to manage your anxiety. Have you considered starting psychotherapy? no CBT but actual psychotherapy with a psychiatrist. Also,did you give CBT enough time so you can see if it actually works? Best of luck!
