Actually, yes: It's amazing what anxiety can do! If all the tests were negative for lung problems or heart issues - it leaves anxiety as a prime suspect. The good news is that you now know you are healthy in important ways and CBT therapy works well or learning anxiety mgmt skills. It's a good thing!

It sounds: like you have had an extensive medical workup. If all of these tests are normal, rest assured and see your doctor for follow up. Anxiety and panic can absolutely cause you to have symptoms compatible with other disease processes.
