Breathing problems?
I have noticed that when I go into shopping centres (where it' s way too hot most of the time and I stand for a long time), that I find it difficult to breathe - almost like someone is standing on my chest
What could be the reason I feel like this?
I am only 26 years old

Hallo Anon
You may get a type of a panic attack due to the confinement - try breating into a paper bag ( take deep and rythmic breaths for 30 seconds) if this happens and see if it helps for the tightness of the chest?
