I’ve been having shortness of breath, which I believe to be purely psychosomatic, as I already have bad anxiety and the symptoms go away when I’m distracted, but for the past day or so my lungs have felt a little raw. I know this isn’t necessarily a covid-specific question, but it would definitely give me some peace of mind to know if a person can experience sore windpipe/lungs from like... breathing too hard and too much?

Thank you! I’ve read a lot of other’s stories about feeling similar anxiety-induced belabored breathing, and since I don’t have a cough or fever, I’m inclined to think that’s what it is. I’ve been so paranoid and therefore absurdly safe in my quarantining measures, but this really gets in my head.
