Difficulty breathing, pain in lungs?

Question

I don't smoke and I haven't fallen lately.

I had a panic attack two days ago and of course meaning I was hyperventilating a lot. Since then I've had trouble breathing and when I do breath there's a sharp stabbing pain in my lungs and stomach. I'm wondering whether or not to go to the doctors, or, if anybody has had something similar.

Please don't ask a bunch of strangers about something potentially life threatening.

Difficulty breathing and pain can be anything from GERD, heartburn, pneumonia to COPD.

Because you mention stomach pain I'm thinking possible Gall bladder stones.

Go to the doctor, clinic or ER. Respiratory depression is an emergency!

I hope you feel better.

My dad had a panic attack one time, but it wasn't like hyperventilating. It almost sounds like an anxiety attack. You need to see a doctor so that there's not so much stress on your lung that you have a heart attack. GOOD LUCK

Any time you have shortness of breath and sharp stabbing pains it's time for the doctor. Make it sooner rather than later. Don't want to make you anxious but you do need to be seen.
God bless.
