I have this problem, too. My pulmonologist suggested that I download a meditation app to help calm me down. It helps sometimes, but not every time. Maybe you could try that. Might help you get it under control. Good luck!

You're a riddle, wrapped inside a mystery, inside an enigma.

I have asthma and anxiety disorders with panic attacks. So I can entirely sympathise. It's apparently not uncommon, the lack of breathing from an asthma attack can cause a panic attack, or the hyperventilation from a panic attack can trigger asthma. One of life's cruellest catch 22s! Learning breathing exercises and relaxation techniques can help the breathing of both, worth finding some which work for you. And practice LOTS when not having issues.
