Persistent urge to take a deep breath /shortness of breath. iron deficient but not anemic...is that the reason? episodes of tachycardia. thyroid heart and lungs cleared. do suffer from anxiety disorder. struggling to find explanation

Heart rhythm: Should be investigated as well, specifically arrhythmias, Holter monitor or a loop recorder if not done. Anxiety is always part of it, but all possible medical conditions should be thoroughly ruled out.
