Record yourself (audio and video) during one of your attacks and I’ll have a much better idea. Right now, it’s extremely hard to tell from your description. Obviously, actually listening to you with a stethoscope and being able to perform a few tests would help me even more, of course.
By “attack” do you mean “one of the hundreds of occasions throughout an average day where I attempt to take an especially deep breath to satisfy my customary air hunger” or do you mean “run around until you collapse, gasping, and record that”?
Ok, but those are all exercise. Do you ever get attacks from cold, from allergens, from waking up in the middle of the night, from fear, from pain, from eating too much before bedtime?
Cold weather can make getting my deep breaths uncomfortable, but doesn’t seem to make me need more of them. I’m not allergic to anything except mushrooms (and that causes nausea, not breathing problems). I’ve never woken up in the middle of the night (that I know of) with breathing problems. I sometimes breathe oddly when afraid/in pain, but it doesn’t seem related. Eating too much at bedtime doesn’t do anything that eating too much at other times doesn’t.

The latter. But wait, you only have attacks when you run?
Running, biking, walking too fast up a hill, jumping on a trampoline, playing DDR.

Ok, so a video c audio of you exercising (or aftermath) would be helpful. As I said, not as helpful as seeing you in person.
I’ll try to remember to do this next time, and may induce it deliberately if my next doctor visit is disappointing in this regard.
