Hyperventilating: Mostly it seems like anxiety especially since you are not wheezing and young

Panic attack?: This is likely from a panic attack related to anxiety. Another condition may be vocal cord dysfunction in which the throat tightens up when you try to breathe in. If you have no anxiety issue, consult an ENT to document whether you have vocal cord dysfunction or not.
