No virus is involved in the etiology of the panic attacks rather they are purely psychological. The virus infection may be the cause for the breathing difficulties but then it is usually accompanied y running nose, malaise & temperature etc .
So in your case viral infection is not responsible for the symptoms.
Considering history of your panic attacks & lack of the accompanying symptoms points the cause of the breathing difficulties towards psychological origin.
My suggestion is to be relaxed, wipe out your feelings of breathing difficulties seek opinion of psychotherapist if needed.
