Specializes in Psychiatry

Very anxious: You sound very anxious, and these are sensations anxiety can produce. Exercise increases your respiratory rate, increasing the sensations -- so anxiety can feed on itself. It looks like your doctors have been investigating your heart status. You could also consider seeing a psychologist and/or psychiatrist about anxiety issues and how they relate to breathing. Good news: help is available!
