This attack lasts from few minutes to hours. These attacks occur with or without any reason.

But detailed examination is important to rule out other whether its anxiety disorder or panic disorder or due to other causes

If it is breathlessness only ...and is continuous or even episodic. It is better to consult a physician first.
However if their is known history of anxiety episodes and earlier medical evaluation is within normal limits, then no need to worry.
