I am looking for some reassurance really I thnink. I went to a party yesterday and did some very intense 5 minute dancing - think very energetci. Whilst i was dancing I did feel a bit out of breath but nothing major but when i stopped and made my way back to my seat I could not breathe. I was breathing so fast and in such deep gulps that I genuinely could not catch my breath and be satisfied from it ( if that makes sense). I felt extremely close to panicking and to somethng bad happening although i don't know what!
The feeling evertually died down but only after an intense 10 minutes of very fast breathing. I also felt a need to drink a ton of water and the initial few sips seemed to have regulated my breathiing again.
I shoudl add that I am overweight ( a size 18) and whilst I used to go to the gym every day haven't been for about 6 months.
