Yes, because after exposure to an irritant or allergen, a person's airways narrow making it harder to breathe. Allergic reactions can also cause an increase in mucus production, which can make breathing even more labor intensive. Because the lungs of COPD patients are often compromised (due to a variety of factors like damaged lung tissue and the destruction of the hair-like fibers called cilia that help push mucus out of the airways), a sudden increase in mucus can cause severe shortness of breath as well as anxiety.
