I've been having trouble breathing for a few months. I think it's anxiety, but could it be something else?

It's like I can never get a full breath. I can get a good breath when I yawn, for example, as if it enlarges my throat. And if it's anxiety, what can I do?

Hello Ma'am,
Yes, it sounds like anxiety (although only a doctor will be able to make the official diagnosis).
For this type of situation, try to relieve the stress. Easier said than done of course.
Have you ever tried meditation or mindfulness?

Was this medication working well? Why did you stop it?

I had been taking 6 medications since I was 9 years old and I was tired so I stopped and it worked fine at first but now the anxiety has returned

So I think we should take back at least 1 or 2, indeed.

I encourage you to discuss this with your doctor.
