For the past three months, I have had occasional difficulty with taking deep breaths. I will get a sensation like I need to inhale deeply, but can't always do so. I have also noticed a pain in my upper back which feels like a muscle pull, but the fact that it has lingered for 5-6 weeks has me beginning to wonder. Are these periods where I am unable to take a deep breath and corresponding back pain related to anxiety attacks or could there be something more serious? I've never had this problem before -- I'm 28 years old and have been in very good health until this came up.

It never hurts to get checked out but I am willing to bet you're having anxiety. Those are very similiar sypmtoms that I used to have.
