Go to ER: If this is a change in your usual anxiety symptoms and you are still having trouble breathing, call 911 or go to ER. Hopefully, it is nothing, but getting checked and finding out it is nothing, is better than not getting checked and having something bad happen. Use your breathing techniques, or relaxation techniques even now. Because your anxiety will add to the symptoms and confuse the picture

Agree w earlier: input. However, even if you are not aware of feeling anxious - I believe that deep breathing exercises warrant a trial.
