How To Treat Breathing Difficulty?
Hi. My body has been feeling pretty heavy today and it's been more difficult to breathe. I feel like I have a rope tied around my upper back that is squeezing my lungs, but only when I breathe in. I nearly passed out yesterday from a combination of stress and anxiety. Are these things all related?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, stress, anxiety and your symptoms are related.
Uncontrolled stress, tension and anxiety can cause chest tightness, chest pressure etc.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
So don't worry, you will be alright.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
