A member asked:
What to do if i feel shortness of breath and panick attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to be checked: Even though panic attacks are known to present as shortness of breath, but any one complaining of shortness of breath needs to be checked to rule out all organic causes of this symptom before a diagnosis of panic attack is made panick attacks are caused by underlying anxiety and have to be treated with tranquilisers and other anti anxiety medications and psychotherapy so get it cheched asap.
