How can severe anxiety along with breathing difficulty be treated?
human
I suffer from severe anxiety and have been under control for many years with medication. Recently, my typical anxiety symptom of difficulty breathing is now combined with coughing. It s a dry, hacking cough. Could it be asthma or anxiety? Should I see a pulmonary specialist?
