Can Difficult To Breathe, Chest Tightness Indicate A Panic Attack?

I just woke up feeling breathless, difficult to breathe, chest tightness, my body was tingly, and I felt all the blood rush back into my head and body as soon as I could catch my breath. I was just diagnosed with having an anxiety/panic problems and have had blood work done (they said everything was health). I m really scared right now, was that a normal panic attack experience? I went to bed having an anxiety attack, and woke up to this about 2 hours later.
