Brief Answer:
Panic attacks can also be a possibility.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.

Do you have excessive anxiety and stress? Because the symptoms can be seen in patients with excessive anxiety or panic attacks as well.

However, pulmonary conditions can also cause these symptoms. You can go for the spirometry test to check whether the lungs function well or not. A CT scan of the thorax also is taken to make sure everything is fine.

Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks
