Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Your history is not actually sufficient enough to say anything for sure but it could be panic attacks.
I would suggest you get her checked out by a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.
If all ok from his side, then you can consult a psychiatrist.
Best regards.
