Could be anxiety, could be reflux. I've experienced it with both of those. If it persists or get worse, speak to your doc about it.

Yeah it's common with anxiety AND reflux, and is much worse if you have both.

The thing to realise here is that even if it feels like you need a full breath, you probably don't. You're hyperventilating by that point.

The best thing to do is breath slowly and calmly through your nose and after a couple of minutes the feeling will pass.
