Over a few weeks- experiencing a hunger for air, like something is stopping my lungs expanding, heart palpitations, and a strange sensation in my head?

Probable anxiety: If these symptoms occur at rest but not with exertion,they may be due to anxiety. If,however,they occur with physical exertion then anxiety may not be the issue. Use this as a guideline and consult your physician accordingly.
