Can severe anxiety and stress cause breathlessness which gets worse with exertion? sometimes breathlessness comes on when resting too. have had heaps of heart tests and cardiologist happy and said didn't need to come back again?

See lung doctor..: If your shortness of breath is not heart-related, you should see a lung doctor to be sure it is not related to your lungs. There are tests you should have, like pulmonary function tests, 6 minute walk test, CT scan of chest, etc. to diagnose an etiology for your symptoms. Please see a lung doctor for further evaluation to diagnose your breathing difficulties! Best of luck to you!
