Hello,
Ugh I hate this anxiety symptom! It is terrible! I live with this shortness of breath ALL the time. I've gotten all kinds of tests done as well but have to go in august to get the pulmonary function test done. Hopefully nothing bad is found and I can definitely chalk it up as anxiety, but I'm almost positive it's all anxiety. If I keep my mind busy doing something else this symptom usually goes away. Problem is we're fixated on our breathing so it continues to worsen. Try to keep your mind busy as much as possible and see if it gets better.

How long have you been having this anxiety symptom ? Same here I've gotten so many tests done and nothing I'm healthy no problems at all. I also have a pulmonary function test coming up in august but my doctor thinks I'm healthy from my lungs. Thank you for the reply

I've been dealing with this symptom for my whole duration of anxiety....so about 3 years now. I actually have a pulmonary function test in august as well and I'm petrified for the results. I guess we just have to just accept it's all anxiety. Every time we think we're dying or have a medical issue we need to try to remember I've had all these tests done and we're fine. Thought I was dying yesterday and woke up today.

Looks like you may be in the same page I am lol. Hopefully we both over come this problem. I don't have asthma but albuterol inhaler seems to give me some relief at times. Belly breathing exercises work a little bit not a lot.
