Suggest Treatment For Breathlessness And Anxiety

Of late my son has has been complaining of breathlessness which lasts for 4-5 minutes. He was rushed to hospital twice. Since he was having cold and slight cough , he was adviseake antibiotics. Later I could understand from him that he had some kind of feeling in his nose (like an air bubble going up the nose when one drinks soft drinks) which he thought as problematic and led to anxiety and breathlessness. For the past couple of days, he has started again complaing of breathlessness . He hyper ventillates during this time and he feels dizzy too. He complains that he feels dryness and heat too inside his mouth. He has large tonsils and allergic too. He breathes through both nose and mouth. I feel that his problem is more attributed to anxiey ( fear that he would become breathless) and 25% to physical . I request your help in this and also help me to find out a good clinical psychologist in Kochi
