You need to be evaluated after proper history, a pulmo consultation would help. Need to know the cause of breathlessness. Please do consult , with chest X-ray and a cardiac work up might be necessary to rule out any cardiac cause. The anxiety you have mentioned also causes symptoms of this sort . So you need a consultation .
