Breathing difficulty at 67 should not be assumed to be only anxiety or acidity. Please get her evaluated promptly, especially if this is new or persistent. Once cardiac and respiratory causes are ruled out, anxiety and acidity can be treated appropriately and are usually very manageable.

Since your mother is 67 years old, has high blood pressure, and is experiencing breathing difficulty for the last 2 hours, this should not be assumed to be anxiety alone. She should be evaluated by a physician or at the nearest emergency department as soon as possible, especially if she has chest pain, severe breathlessness, sweating, dizziness, fainting, or her oxygen saturation is below 94%.
Next Steps
While waiting for medical care:
Help her sit upright and keep her calm.
If you have a pulse oximeter, check and note her oxygen saturation and pulse.
Continue her regular prescribed blood pressure medicines unless a doctor has advised otherwise.
Avoid self-medicating for anxiety before the cause of the breathing difficulty is identified.
You can get an online consultation now only so that I can ask exact symptoms and guide you what to do next.
Health Tips
Because of her age and high blood pressure, breathing difficulty should not be assumed to be anxiety. She should be evaluated promptly.
Either get an online consultation right now or go and visit any nearby hospitals.

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.
Next Steps
For further guidance and personalized consultation after her condition has been stabilized, you may connect with us at 9 3 1 5 6 6 1 5 6 5. We will be happy to guide you regarding long-term management based on the underlying cause.
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. Thank you
