A member asked:

Past 4 days i notice when im sitting at home or car im having to watch my breathing like i feel not enough air and clearing my throat.can it be anxiety?is only when im sitting where i feel this shortness of breathe.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety : Shortness of breath at rest but not during exertion is most often due to anxiety. The breathing reflex is automatic and when you dwell on it, it becomes stressful and uncomfortable. Try to distract yourself by thinking of peaceful and pleasant situations or get up and go for a walk.
