Shortness of breath.: Shortness of breath can and should be evaluated with a history, physical examination, perhaps lung function testing. At your age, a very common cause is stress, however. Stress can be manged with the help of your doctor, a psychology counselor or therapist, more exercise, keeping a journal of emotions, etc. So don't feel put off if doctors believe it may be anxiety or stress. Real and fixable.

Treatment: You list that you are on anti-anxiety meds. It seems like you need more support. Sometimes anxiety like this can seem impossible, but it really is telling you something. Therapy does work for this. If you are already getting treatment, you may need more. Don't be afraid to ask your doctors for more help. Best wishes and good luck.
