What Causes Shortness Of Breath Feeling?
Why does my breathing feel limited now? Ive only had one panic attack . But I mean that was weeks ago, and now my breathing feels really limited, also when standing up for a while I start to breathe a lil harder. My heart rate is fine now that I have learned to sort of keep calm but now my breathing feels limited & in the middle of my chest and inder my left breast feels a little sore, should I be worried?? Btw im 18.

Hi and thank you for asking.
Usually it is normal that during or after a panic attack the person might feel breathlessness.
You explain that after you now have learned to sort of keep calm your breathing feels really limited.
To rule out lungs problem you can do a blood count test,a chest X ray and a Spirometry test.
If they come normal i do not think you need other tests to do further.
Thank you
