My homeopathy doctor examined and told me that I'm having health anxiety through which I get difficulty in my breath. Can somebody please tell me is it actually anxiety which is causing shortness of breath or any order lung disorder? About a year ago I had all tests but everything was normal. I'm afraid if it's asthma what can I do during breathing problem without a inhaler? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

Yes anxiety can cause breathlessness. Your way of speaking shows your high level of anxiousness. Please consult counsellor or psychologist and seek help.

In your age and as all the tests are normal it is definitely anxiety related.
