I don;t know if this will help, but when my anxiety was at it's worst I would get sensations of shortness of breathe, but I noticed that if I took a deep breathe it felt fine. I tried breathing normally, and had no problem. It was just the feelign of shortness of breathe. Coincidentally, when I figured this out the feeling occurred less and less. From what little I know, anxiety can take on many forms. It can seem like stomach issues, heart issues, lung issues, and even head issues. I experienced them all. If you really think the lungs are the problem, get them checked out. I've heard of people that have "slight" asthma and don't know it. And they got it cleared up with minimal medication.
