What Causes Shortness Of Breath While Suffering From Anxiety?

I have suffered with anxiety disorder and panic disorder and depression now for four years. Ive had plenty of xrays and nothing is alarming to the doctors they say they look fine and my oxygen is always 98 or above. Lately ill get randomly short of breath and my throat will feel tight for awhile. Any ideas on what this could be?

Dear
Anxiety leads to high autonomic arousal due to release of various hormones and chemicals.
That may be the cause of shortness of breath
Once it anxiety is controlled
physiological symptoms will lessen
