Breathing: it's what we do to survive without conscious thought being involved. Until, for some reason, we can't quite catch our breath. If shortness of breath is something you've never experienced before, it can be extremely frightening. Because the heart and lungs work together to keep our breathing and circulation regular, it can be a sign of real problems when breathing becomes labored. You might assume it's your anxiety acting up, but could something else be causing it?
Click on to discover if your shortness of breath is caused by anxiety or something more sinister.
