Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, stress and anxiety can cause breathlessnessbreathlessness.
But we need to first rule out organic causes for breathlessness.
So first consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
If all these are normal then stress can be the cause fir your breathlessness.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
