What Causes Shortness Of Breath?
ive been having shortness of breath for a couple days now, what happens is i feel like i can not get a full breath so i deep breathe but end up swallowing air and belching, and then i yawn trying to get a deep breathe but when i dont think about it, it goes away. this used to be a sign of my anxiety but i am not anxious. should i be worried?

Hi
Difficulty in breathing is not a normal sensation in a normal person.
But it depends on your age ,smoking status,weight.If this is a continuous feeling it will be better to do an Ekg,chest Xray Spirometry and some blood tests.
Wish you good health
