  5. I've been experiencing this off-and-on chest tightness and shortness of breath for several years now. It's like I can't catch my breath sometimes, and I have to take deep breaths to feel okay. I don't have any medical history, and Im not on any meds. I saw a couple of doctors, and they said it might be panic attacks. My ECG came back normal, but it seems to get worse when I lie down. Occasionally, I feel like I need to yawn to fully catch my breath. Could you help me understand what's going on?
