Anxiety attack: Please go to your emergency room or doctor to make sure nothing is wrong medically. Then follow up w/a mental health professional who treats panic attacks if this is a pattern. Please learn strategies to cope, not medication only if it is offered. Peace and good health. Shortness of breath is a common symptom of panic--but can also be associated w/other things.
