Hi welcome to the health care magic
First of all we have to rule out any organic cause if present esp respiratory problems..
Work up done as follow...
_Auscultation
_CBC
_chest x ray
_pulmonary function test
_EKG
If these all work up normal than anxiety history should be ruled out as stress induced panic attack can lead such problem
According to cause specific treatment given
Consult pulmonologoist for examination and discuss all these issue
Take care
