Can Anxiety Cause Shortness Of Breath While Talking?
My husband is having shortness of breath while talking (not often). He does not get it on exertion. He has one stent put in about 15 months ago. Went to cardiologist in Nov and was fine. His mother passed away three weeks ago. Can it be anxiety and stress?

Hello,
The anxiety is very common cause of short breath while talking, particularly with underlying intense stress level. Guidelines at present:
- Deep breathing exercises
- Meditations
- YOGA
- Fresh air walking
- Relaxation techniques to obtain sound sleep
- Avoidance of smoking, alcohol, recreational drugs or others if using
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
