Can Stress Cause Shortness Of Breath?
Question: Keeping you informed helps in my recovery, thanks for your attention.
I have been making great strides in my recovery and am starting to breathe much better. The focus on everything to be stress and anxiety caused has helped tremendously. I am wondering if you can reach a certain point where another obstacle has to be the cause also. Lately,, I have run into upper chest tightness and a level of breathing somewhere in between panting from exertion to shortness of breath. I wonder if my anxiety level of matters that I am working on ridding might be slowing or pushing it back up a bit.
