Hi,
Thanks for asking.
This is called sense of incomplete aireation of lungs which is a typical symptom of anxiety disorder. Please continue your anxiety treatment and youshould feel better after 2-4 weeks of therapy. If you still feel more or less the same symptoms you should discuss it with your doctor who may either intensify your therapy or change your medication.
I hope this will help you.
If you have any other queries or questions, you are most welcome to ask.
