hi,
A lot of people have anxiety of a specific area.  For example, mine is throwing up.  So even though you feel different cause you have a specific anxiety, you really are not alone.

I think you would really benefit from therapy.  They can really really help to sort out your mind and help build you up to be stronger and happier.  A lot of people think therapy is bogus, but they can really help give you insight as to why you fear being closed up so much.  Being in a car accident is traumatic, no matter how minor you think it is.  Sometimes things can effect us and we dont even have a clue that it does until you sort it out and you end up feeling soooo much better.  
It is good that you came here cause this forum is filled with tons of experienced, supporting, and encouraging people who are only here to help.  Good luck! And I highly suggest looking into therapy.

Situational panic can be controlled in many ways.  There is no need to suffer.  Visit your doctor and discuss your options. For the time being, practice breathing.  Deep breath in through your nose, hold, then exhale through your mouth.  You can even put your hand on your stomach to feel it rise and fall.  You can even count as a distraction.   I hope you feel better soon.
