you sound like you had an anxiety attack in which your chest can close up making it difficult to breathe. It could also be stress. Check with your doctor.

2. Sometimes I feel that happens, and the more I think about it, the |
|
worse it feels!! On the other hand, it could have just been anxiety.
Did you have other symptoms of an attack? Mucous, a metallic taste (I seem to get that)?

I lied down for 10 minutes and it passed. Do anxiety attacks and stress come on together?

3. It depends on the kind of asthma |
|
there are several different kinds each with different reasons for onset.
Arguing for an hour? You might have exercise induced asthma in which it would be an attack.
