A member asked:
Lately, i've been feeling as if i can't exhale completely. as if i have to push harder to get the last bit of air out. asthma or just anxiety? gas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asthma more likely: Having problem exhaling is typical for airway obstruction with asthma being the most common cause. In anxiety, the problem is usually with getting enough air in. You need to get a lung function test and an evaluation by your PCP or allergist.
