Panic: This is a panic episode, very common with anxiety. I would slow your breathing down by blowing in a paper bag and slow deep breaths over a minute. You can see a child psychiatrist on our staff at health tap, or outside in person for tools to generate to treat this over time. Also, behavioral tools to manage the anxiety. I'm Ivy Fisher and you are unlikely to aspirate, get pneumonia, get tics....
