    I'm having this now yet my ECG bloods and general stats are all fine. It's really unsettling

    Yes, it is very common. For me it helps to remember that everything IS normal. I once had to take my daughter to A&E, she was gasping for breath (asthma) and they reassured her by showing her that even so, her blood oxygen levels were still nothing to worry about - so when I get this feeling, I remind myself that I have all the oxygen I need in my blood. Taking deep breaths makes it worse (though it's hard to resist) - something to do with the balance of Carbon Dioxide to Oxygen.

    Feels like you're not breathing, but you are really.
