IS THIS ANXIETY OR SOMETHING ELSE, PLEASE HELP

I've been feeling like this for 2 weeks. I have no problem eating. Eating actually comforts me, and I dont feel it as much. It first started as shortness of breath, with not being able to take a deep breath in, along with a lump in the throat feeling. The feeling that you feel when you want to cry. The sensation is now more pronounced. I feel the pressure in my adams apple area, and my jaw feels as if ive been chewing gum all day long. PLEASE HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS!

Do this breathing technique(pranayam) now and everyday before breakfast, and you will notice the symptoms decrease.Keep doing to the anulom vilom daily forever and post your feedback.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
Anulom Vilom –
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril  
then – close left nostril with two middle fingers and breath-out through right nostril  
then -keeping the left nostril closed  deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30  minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed. Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.
While doing anulom vilom, keep your eyes closed, concentrate on the third eye (point in between the eyebrows).

This certainly sounds like an anxiety attack to me.  I have had them in the past before I was placed on anxiety meds.

You need to go to your doctor and ask about anxiety meds.  They will help you tremendously.
