Weird breathing issue?

i have a feeling this could be depression/anxiety related. But over the past few days it’s been more often that I randomly find myself feeling short of breath. Often paired with lightheadedness, and this  kind of heaviness in my limbs. 

Its mostly annoying at this point, but when I am trying to get to sleep I will get to this point where I feel like I really have to focus on each breath and if I get distracted I just stop breathing. 

I am am thinking of making a doctors appointment but if it’s just weird random anxiety attacks I don’t want to waste their time.
