try to take deep deep breath ,take it widely deep long breath from your nose slowly and give it slowly from your mouth that will calm you and stabilize your heart beats and thus protect from breathlessness ,close your eyes ,listen to music ,go out or open window for pure air flow and take this deep breath you will be ok and fine .these also might help to protect from stress :

specific members of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and the selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSNRI) classes of drugs such as fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), citalopram (Celexa), and escitalopram (Lexapro). Examples of SNRI medications are duloxetine (Cymbalta), venlafaxine (Effexor)
but better to be taken under doctor supervision and a thorough out evaluation of your case .

you may need only a lifestyle changes ,and if treatments needed they are prescribed according to condition and severity and it may be started gradually and when stops even it must not be stopped abrubtly so dose is given according to the case and severity and not standard .
