I'm feeling really suffocated and it's pretty uncomfortable when I breathe. It seems to take quite a bit of effort. I'm also dealing with anxiety and have had anxiety attacks quite a few times. Could these breathing issues be related to my anxiety, or do you think it might be something else? What should I do next?
