HI, thanks for using healthcare magic Anxiety can cause shortness of breath and chest pain. The chest pain is usually central but does not generally occur when taking a breath. Chest pain that occurs on breathing may be related to pleuritis which is inflammation of pleura. The pleura is the lining of the lung. This can be due to different causes but one of the most common is a viral illness. You can try using an anti inflammatory drug such as cataflam, ibuprofen, aspirin. These should be used on a full stomach I hope this helps
