You can request a physical examination
(auscultation) and lung functional tests
(vital capacity, pick-expiratory-flow…)
to check if you really have some breading
difficulties or if you are imagining
difficulty breathing. Given your medical
history which includes a sleeping disorder
and depression, anxiety could be the cause
for “breathing difficulties”.
