Precisely because of the body’s whole fight or flight response, when it feels like it’s under attack or responding to an uncomfortable situation, another symptom of anxiety is having shortness of breath. Many times, it is also accompanied by your chest tightening and your breath quickening, all due to your lungs attempting to get more oxygen into your muscles in preparation to make a run for it. Since you aren’t in actual danger, the entire experience is highly uncomfortable, worrisome and just add to a heightened sense of anxiety overall. If this happens often, be sure to see a specialist to find out if it’s due to anxiety disorder.
