Could It Be Panic Attack If Having Breathlessness While Being Tensed Up?

Hi. My boyfriend is 21 years old. He had some type of attack last night. We think it is an anxiety attack because he normally has them if hes stressed or depressed. Last night, he tensed up and wasnt breathing correct. When he came out of it, he had no memory of the last two hours. His head, chest, elbows and legs hurt. His headache has lasted all night and day. Is this an anxiety attack or more serious and what needs to be done?
