[|Human|] ive been experiencing trouble taking deep breaths (I can breathe normally just trouble taking deep breaths).  I have my usmle step 1 exam coming up and I think it is due to panic attacks,  This first happened last week but its become more consistent.  Can stress account for this.  Otherwise I am healthy, dont drink or do any kind of drugs either
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, stress, anxiety and panic disorder can cause breathing problems. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
