I don't know Spriggy. I had awful breathing issues due to anxiety. You don't have to have a panic attack to be anxious. I would have the feeling I couldn't inhale deep enough, chest tightening/pressure, and a lot of yawning.
I think I have even hyperventilated w/o even knowing it. I've been making a conscious effort to breath through my nose to keep it from happening again.
It started after I got out of the hospital from an asthma attack and I still have it, especially when I am thinking about my breathing - at all!
I took some of DH's gabbas and they helped a lot. Recently, my current pulmonary doc gave me a script for ativan. I haven't filled it yet, but since I've been to see this doctor (who eased a lot of my fears), I haven't had as many breathing issues.
I bet once they get to the root of your medical problems, the breathing troubles will resolve themselves. At least I can hope for you. Take care.
