human
I am having symptoms of anxiety and these symptoms have been the norm for a while. I have shortness of breath it feels as though I can t breathe and even it feels as though I have a lump in my throat. Simple tasks seem to be difficult. I would like to know what you would recommend for the above mentioned symptoms for relief.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Anxiety is always a helpful defense mechanism with which the body responds to the perceived external stimulants named threat. Body perceives threat and it triggers "fight or flight" response. I suggest counseling and CBT for you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. K. V. Anand
