<s>[INST] Trouble breathing For the last four years once in a while I have been having hard time breathing enough air to get a full breath. The only time that it starts is when Im frighten or upset and sometimes if im stress. Ever since its been going on im usually good at controlling it. I have talk to my family members but they told me its nothing as for me I am concern because it has been going on for a long time. A friend of my uncle that Im close with she thinks that it might be possible a panic attacks not sure how really it could be or not.My name is Cassondra, Im 19 years old , Im 5 6.

Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You will also need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, with counselling and anxiolytic  </s>
