[|AI|]  Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... Noted you feel like not getting enough air in your lung.... First just consult pulmonologist and your respiratory examination done...If you need to rule out asthma or COPD like causes pulmonary function test done by spirometry.... If it comes abnormal then further investigation can be done.... Here you might have stress related dyspnea as suspected by doctor... By excess stress panic attack can lead air hunger... So try to avoid stress... Early morning yoga and exercise good for stress relief.... If needed you can consult psychiatrist for further behavioral therapy and counselling.... No need for worry. Take care.... Chat Doctor.
