A few times, I have randomly had episodes
Like this, once on the bus which freaked me out. I suddenly found it hard to breathe. I was trying to take deep breaths and slow my breathing, but it felt like something was squeezing my lungs tight. Even though I could take deep breaths, it felt like I was having trouble gettin air. I tarted to panic a little, thinking about what if I passed out or panicked
On the bus and embarrassed myself, but I just made
Myself calm down and it eventually passed. Does this sound like a panic or anxiety attack?

Hi JustWantToBeNormal,

That does sound like the symptom of a panic attack, I know mine start out by either my heart racing or having difficulty breathing, then I panic about it, it's a scary feeling

I'd see a doctor, just to be sure; it could have been a warning sign.

...did that make you really anxious? If so, it was probably a panic attack, but still, worth checking it out.
