Shortness of breath: I believe your symptoms warrant an evaluation which includes a general examination, lab work to check for anemia and assessment of lung and cardiac status. I recommend starting with a specialist in internal medicine and appropriate testing will be done. Anxiety and chronic stress may be present, but the physical evaluation comes first before diagnosing these.
