What exactly is this?

When he gets anxious over something or even upset his breathing is shallow. And when he rides a bike 5 minutes he gets out of breath.

I think that’s pretty unusual. Most children have allergic asthma. Anxiety can definitely aggravate it, but adults won’t always know when a child is wheezing until it’s pretty bad. Also, asthma can cause anxiety—physically. Does he have an allergy?
