What Causes Breathing Problem?
ive been experiencing trouble taking deep breaths (I can breathe normally just trouble taking deep breaths). I have my usmle step 1 exam coming up and I think it is due to panic attacks, This first happened last week but its become more consistent. Can stress account for this. Otherwise I am healthy, dont drink or do any kind of drugs either

Yes, stress, anxiety and panic disorder can cause breathing problems.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.

Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
