I have been feeling short of breath for about 3 years now doctors can't find anything wrong with me. I'm 21 female and healthy. The feeling is like I want to take a deep breath every single breath but when I do take a deeper breath it only satisfys briefly - its aweful!! I've become quite distressed about it and so the most resent diagnosis is anxiety - I've started taking antidepressants (just to prove them wrong) but I'm sure I only became anxious when I started feeling breathless (who wouldn't!). Also, its there all the time, not just when I get upset - it does seem to get a little worse after a big meal. Any advice about what it could be or remedys or someone else with similar symptoms please reply!!
