A member asked:
Shortness of breath and anxiety following pleurisy a month ago. how do i get over this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Medications for shortness of breath can mimic or cause anxiety, shortness of breath itself can cause anxiety and your fear itself plays into the anxiety. Discuss these with your doctor and then see a therapist to see if you can use your thoughts to get it under control (cognitive-behavioral therapy).
