Is it normal to feel extremely anxious and not be able to breathe?

In class today I randomly got super anxious. It was so bad that I couldn't breathe. Eventually I could breathe again, but the anxiety wouldn't go away for a few hours. It was so terrifying.

    That's a panic attack. They suck.

    You're not sure what triggered it?

    Frau charli.m is correct. Are you studying for exams at the moment and stressed? That could've triggered your panic attack.

    Yeah panic attacks. If they get worse and come more after ask your doc for a referral to a therapist.
