feel like I'm gonna stop breathing

I just got done eating then all of a sudden I could feel panicky rising up!   Started paying attention to my breathing then I suddenly felt short of breath like I couldn't let out all my air.  I've been to the doctors before I just went 2 days ago and said everything was fine.  I was also told to just let panic happen when I start feeling it.  I'm not sure who else to go too I wasn't sure if it was actually panicking or something else like always.  Please just bring me comfort

Hello again.

You're stuck in the cycle of anxiety.  You feel anxiety or panic coming on, and you begin to focus on how you're feeling, which makes you panic more, which makes the symptoms worse.

What have you done to address the anxiety?  Have you sought professional help?  Anxiety is something that needs to be addressed, it typically won't just go away on its own.

Hi, i feel most panic and anxiety stems from not realizing ones talents or not accomplishing what they want with the effort they have put forth.
