Hi minnie h, try not to panic, easier said than done i know, sounds like anxiety to me, when im anxious and panicky it also effects my breathing and gives me a bad stomach do you know any breathing exercises if so try to do them when this feeling comes over you, its hard at first but it does help. Im sending you a hug take care xx:bighug1:

Hi there, it does sound like anxiety, when you're really anxious it is really hard to take a good deep breath. Try looking at youtube to see correct breathing exercises, I found they really helped me. Do you think you could be anaemic, this can affect your breathing :-) Why don't you ask your Dr for a blood test, very simple but it will put your mind at rest. Try the breathing exercises though, they are very helpful.

All the best to you.
