Breathing difficulties like a sensation of difficult or uncomfortable breathing or a feeling of not getting enough air, chest tightness, chest burning sensation, excessive yawning, can be caused by anxiety.
As you mentioned this problem is far more stressed when an issue appears, and before falling asleep when you are probably going through analyzing and worrying, suggesting that you have an anxiety issue.

Do you get attacks of these symptoms as a a sudden, abrupt episode without apparent reason?
