Margaret had been to three different doctors in two years. She described the same symptoms every time. Chest tightness. Shortness of breath. A feeling like her airways were somehow smaller. Every doctor told her the same thing — her lungs looked fine. What none of them told her was that her anxiety was slowly changing her lungs from the inside.
