What Causes Fainting Sensation And Breathlessness?
I will randomly feel like I m going to pass out at anytime, and I can barely breathe. It s always hard for me to take deep breaths, and hard for me to swallow sometimeS. I keep thinking it s my anxiety, buts it s never been this bad before. People keep telling me I m probably anemic, but I ve been trying to eat more iron rich foods and have cut out soda.

Hello,
Yes, this could be due to anemia as well. Anemia could be due to iron deficiency, folate and vitamin B12 deficiency as well. I suggest you to visit your doctor to rule out all the medical problems for your shortness of breath which includes anemia, respiratory and cardiac as well and treatment afterwards.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
