My sister triggers off emotional stress. Panic *will* give her an attack. (so will a lot of other things) Staying calm and focusing on other things means her medications work faster. When she was tiny, it was very hard on her, because panic is a natural response to having trouble breathing... and it just made breathing even harder.
It's a relatively common trigger, but it does sound weird
