Key questions: Anxiety can make you feel breathless. Heart failure can do it. Pulmonary vascular narrowing can make you feel breathless -- that gets missed. Glad you're not anemic. The question is going to be, "How is your exercise tolerance?" and "Do you need to have spirometry?" Hope you find a treatable cause.
