Can anxiety make me feel like i can't breath correctly all day been like these for 8 months had chest x-ray and a lung test both came out fine ?

Yes: Anxiety can certainly cause your symptoms. Unfortunately there is a long list of other problems which can also cause you to feel short of breath like this. Some of the most common are exposure to fumes, allergies, tobacco smoke. Asthma is also a common cause. You should talk with your doctor about your anxiety and sort this out together.
