How do I fix shortness of breath? I think it's due to anxiety but I have to manually breathe because when I don't my chest gets tight and it feels like I'm not breathing enough. I have started randomly gasping for air out of nowhere and I can't stop sighing. I take deep breaths but then I try to get on with my day and it comes back. Sometimes deep breaths don't even work all that well because it still feels like I'm not getting enough air and then it makes my anxiety worse, which then makes the symptom worse.

Try to relax your shoulders. I carry a lot of tension there and that can affect my breathing. Go outside if you can or anywhere that the air is fresh. Take three deep breaths in through your nose and then exhale slowly through your mouth. These things usually help me.
