Having very bad anxiety the few weeks
I broke up with my girlfriend about 3 weeks ago and about a week or 10 days ago I've been experiencing panic attacks and some other anxiety symptoms, I can't go to class or get on a bus without getting bad anxiety. I also have bad trouble breathing as my throat feels constricted and my chest feels tight I can't get a deep breath. I assumed the break up had triggered anxiety but could it be a thyroid problem?

Yes you are right.. breakup or any Stressor can trigger anxiety or depressive symptoms..But the theme surrounding thoughts are of stressor than it's an adjustment disorder ..if severe or this not the case then independent anxiety disorders... Treatment remains same..either Medications or therapy like CBT.. Direct consult via practo is a good option.. Consult a Psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and Management of the case...see time is a great healer..so just focus on your hobbies that you missed during Relationship..be with friends.. deactivate Facebook etc..ok
