I get shortness of breath now when i take a walk. my doctor recently said i have anxiety. i just wanna know if the shortness of breath is from the anxiety and why do i get it when i walk?

Anxiety: In my experience, shortness of breath caused by anxiety usually occurs at rest rather than with exertion. I recommend an evaluation by a physician,cardiologist or pulmonologist to check for anemia, heart or lung causes of shortness of breath brought on by exertion.

ANXIETY: You may be more anxious when you go outside because of the Covid-19 pandemic. 1st have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. If you are cleared consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help you with ZOOM & a Psychiatrist for medication. Stay safe, cautious & hold on to hopefulness to elevate your immune system.
