I have had two of them. When Chile Jr was only around 2 weeks old she was still in the hospital because she was born premature. I was spending almost 24/7 at the hospital and one night the doc told me I needed to go home and sleep or I wouldn't be able to produce milk. Whatever I went home for five hours to sleep...put my head on the pillow and BAM....I felt like I was having heart attack. Somehow I knew I wasn't but it sure felt like I was DYING...I walked around the house until I calmed myself down. Couple of days later same thing. They say it's stress and anxiety! It was the only time in my life I actually was beyond stressed out and I interalized it all. I think it was a panic attack.
One of my house mates (when we rented out our basement) used to get it all the time. I actually took him to emergency a few times because he just could not calm himself down.
Well....sort of.
I did have something physically wrong with me......but I do think it was compounded with a bit of a panic attack.
No (that I can remember) however, my sis gets panic attacks, she swears she feels like she's gonna die every time!! (which, btw X, she describes it similar to what you just did)

On Tuesday, I felt like I was dying....or at least thought I was going to end up at the hospital with something really serious. It was messed up!!!!
I've never felt like that. I had 911 dialed on my cell phone but never pressed it. Thank God thinks worked out.
I wouldn't call it a near death experience....'cause I think I was far from it......but the 'feeling' was really creepy.
Anyway....
We live to see another day!
OMG Baina, thank God things turned out OK, but dont dismiss episodes like those. Make sure you always follow up with your doctor and keep an eye on whatever it was that happened.
As for me, gracias a Dios, no, never had an experience like that, and hopefully i wont.
BTW, holy cryptic topic on Valentines' Day? Will you ask us about love stories on Halloween????

I have never really felt like I was dying; but having kidney stones pain was a bi t ch - only time I ever had to call for an ambulance. I was reminded of this by the mention of 911.
