Can Anxiety Cause Weakness, Shortness Of Breath And Lightheadedness?
I have panic/aniexty disorders. Just had complete blood work done due to the fact I've been getting lightheaded, like I'm going to faint, hard time breathing, and legs feel weak. I went to the doctor and she said it was stress and the my blood work came back fine. Can stress cause this?

If you have panic disorder there will be intense attacks with these symptoms.
