Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since your age is just 20 years old and you are feeling breathlessness or difficulty in breathing so may be due to ,
1 asthmatic allergic bronchitis ,
2 heart ailment
3 Most probable reason in my opinion after going through your query , may be psychogenic reason.
In my opinion first consult a physician and get his opinion , if no disease then consult a psychiatrist and get his treatment .
Good luck.
Dr. HET
