Your mother's symptoms of anxiety, breathing difficulty, and acidity should not be assumed to be due to anxiety alone, especially if they have started suddenly and have been present for the last 2 hours. While anxiety and acid reflux can certainly cause chest discomfort, a feeling of breathlessness, and a sensation of tightness, breathing difficulty can also be a sign of serious conditions such as a heart problem, asthma, a severe allergic reaction, or a lung condition. It is important to rule out these possibilities first, particularly if she is middle-aged or older or has a history of hypertension,
diabetes, heart disease, or asthma.

Health Tips
Avoid heavy, spicy, or oily meals, caffeinated beverages, and lying down immediately after eating, as these can worsen acidity. Encourage regular sleep, adequate hydration, and stress-management practices once the acute episode has resolved. However, the immediate priority is to ensure that her breathing difficulty is assessed promptly, as this symptom should never be attributed to anxiety without excluding more serious medical conditions.
