How Can Severe Anxiety Along With Breathing Difficulty Be Treated?

I suffer from severe anxiety and have been under control for many years with medication. Recently, my typical anxiety symptom of difficulty breathing is now combined with coughing. It s a dry, hacking cough. Could it be asthma or anxiety? Should I see a pulmonary specialist?
