Hyperventilation: You may be hyperventilating. This is unconsciously breathing too fast and too deep which, strangely, makes you feel like you are not getting enough air--so it keeps itself going and gives you a dry mouth and feeling of dread. The next time it happens, try holding your breath as if you were swimming under water and only "come up for air" when you absolutely must.

Push for help: I am sorry you got an insensitive response. Please try anew; tell someone you may have an anxiety disorder. Insist on help. Anxiety can cause choking, terrible worry, feelings of doom, headaches, muscle and stomach aches, or unexplained pains. It can ruin sleep, make you short of breath, restless, exhausted, shaky, and easily startled or irritable. You may also need to rule out swallowing disorder.
