Breathe out first then breath in - Try to breath out longer than your breath in.
Try to relax and play relaxing music when you are in panic mode. Do go back to your doc and ask to be referred to respiratory specialist. It sounds like you have not yet got the right medicine or dose. Please ask to be referred for pulmonry rehab, a refresher if you have already done one and have forgotten the information learned. An ionising (non ozone producing) may be of help. Do hope you are feeling better soon. Good wishes

Sorry that last bit should have been an Air Purifier / Ioniser may help (non ozone producing) See Air free or My Air Zone.
