Shortness of breath and feelings of smothering are symtoms my sister has with her depression/anxiety. It is very freightening. Controlling her anxiety seems to control her smothering sensation.
Also, I have found that if I am using my asthma inhaler and the drug is getting low and I am not aware that it is already running out, my bronchioles go into spasms that to me feel like I am really suffocating. My pharmacist told me what that was. Also, recently, some inhalers were withdrawn from the market because they didn't contain any drug, just the spray solution itself.
