Breathing and chest sensation

[Eggy]

Anyone had this? Best way i can describe it is it feels like someone is pushing down on my throat and chest and feels like someone is really pushing down on me with both hands and it feels like it hurts and like i have to gasp and like i'm struggling for air and like i am going to stop breathing.

I've had that when I'm really anxious. Feels like I can't breathe deep enough. Try not to focus on it, and I bet you'll suddenly realise it's easing. The more you focus on it I think the worse it'll seem. I think a lot of people get this with anxiety.
