That's great! It almost sounds like a psychological reaction to having your father take the reins so you didn't have to wrestle with the conversation anymore. Maybe that was calming.
I had shortness of breath from anxiety a few years ago. My doctor gave me asthma meds--Advair and a fast-action inhaler (I think she thought I had asthma, which I do not). But oddly enough, they helped considerably. Maybe it was a placebo effect, or maybe I have very mild asthma that flares under intense anxiety. But it may be worth trying, perhaps.
