Hi and welcome, I am sure its like Ceecee said just another one of many, very common symptoms of anxiety. I dont think there are many with anxiety who dont get this symptom, Its hard but try and keep bussy and keep your mind of it as the more you focus on a symptom the stronger it gets. Take care hope you feel better soon. Vernon

Hi there

It's a very common symptom of anxiety, it will ease I promise. As Vernon says the more you think about it the worse it seems.

Take care

hi there i get this all the time......like you cant get a full breath-its like a restriction, a heavy tight feeling...im sure its anxiety has i have had heart tests etc and all say ok-just anxiety...i cant beleive how our brains can make us feel!!!
best thing is to lie down and relax until the feeling passes
