Shortage of breathing

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

For the past few days I have been having a shortage of breathing. I am having the history of depression earlier. Now a days whenever I am having any anxiety or fear, specially related to one thing then it's very difficult for me to breathe. This continues for around 30 mins to 1 hrs and during that time I am feeling too heavy inside. Please tell me some solutions for this problem.

These sound like panic attacks. A quick way to help decrease it is doing something known as square breathing, using deep breaths to regulate yourself, and making sure your exhale in longer than your inhale. Other grounding techniques also exist, but it is also important that you have the root cause of the depression/anxiety treated. Hope this helps.
