Anxiety: What you describe may be anxiety however you should check with your doctor to rule out other causes of intermittent respiratory difficulties such as asthma.

See your doctor: There are many causes for inability to breath including asthma, lung or heart disease, besides anxiety. You should talk to your doctor to rule out more serious problem.
