Hi XXXXX,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

With your description of your wife symptoms, she is getting repeated, recurrent attacks of breathing difficulties.

This type of breathing difficulties are seen in hyper reactive airway diseases such as bronchial asthma and allergic bronchitis.

I advise you to take her to physician or pulmonologist for the examination and investigations with chest X XXXXXXX pulmonary function testing, and other related investigations to assess her lungs function.

Asthmatic attacks will exaggerated by emotional factors such as anxiety.

Therefore I advise you to take her for physician or pulmonologist consultation.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.
