Hello,
Difficulty to breathe in is very likely related to anxiety. Asthma generally causes difficulty to breath out or both (in and out) when it is severe.
In your case, because you already have a history of asthma, it is important to see a doctor and rule asthma as a cause of your shortness of breath.
I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
