Its a typical symptom hun, take yourself off for a moment and sit down and try and calm yourself down by a few deep breaths, breath in counting to 5 through your nose and breath out counting to five, do this a few times. Panic attacks strike us sometimes for no reason at all, one minute you can be fine and the next you have a lump in your throat and feel you are going choke. Don't worry xx

Its been pretty constant thats why im panicking about it my hubby keeps saying if u cant breath u be gasping for air but i cant seem to take it in

It is very scarey. I get it too Bev. Try some slow deep breathing for a bit or maybe try a paper bag.

I don't want food, I just can't make how bad I feel go away. I don't know what to do with this pain that feels so great that it feels like I am going to die because it feels like I can't breathe because it hurts so bad. Seriously? ...

That's me at the moment, breathing feels a real effort and at night on falling asleep I can wake not being able to get my breath. I find it probably one of the worst symptoms related to anxiety.
