Sometimes is the key: People who always feel that they can't take in air likely have a restrictive lung disease like pulmonary fibrosis, muscular weakness due to muscular dystrophy, or copd. People who sometimes feel that they can't get enough air may have asthma, anxiety or periodic spasm of the vocal cords known as vocal cord dysfunction. See an allergist, pulmonologist or otolaryngologist for assistance.
