Whenever a person is too close to you ex Sitting in the middle of two people crowded your breathing gets heavier and cant breathe properly Is this claustrophobic or something else?

Claustrophobia is a specific phobia characterized by an intense fear of confined spaces. While the symptoms you describe, such as feeling crowded, having difficulty breathing, and feeling like you can't breathe properly, can be associated with claustrophobia, they can also be symptoms of other conditions or anxiety disorders.

It's important to note that claustrophobia is a diagnosed mental health condition and the symptoms you are experiencing may not necessarily be due to claustrophobia. If you are concerned about your symptoms, it's recommended that you consult with a mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can help you determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment or strategies to manage them.

Self-care strategies such as practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation, yoga), maintaining a healthy lifestyle (e.g., exercise, balanced diet, sufficient sleep), and seeking social support can also be beneficial in managing anxiety symptoms.
