Is it normal to see something (a post etc.) about a tv show or something that doesn’t have any affect on your life what so ever and feel you chest and throat tighten for a second? I get this a lot when and I was just wondering if it’s normal or not? Is not always something online. Sometimes it just happens randomly. Sometimes it’s sudden but sometimes I can feel it coming and recently I was at a party and the music was loud and everyone was talking and I got really overwhelmed and I could feel it starting to happen so I sat down and tried to focus on breathing but then people kept talking to me and popping balloons and it was like zoned out but more extreme. I was faintly aware of what has happening around me but I couldn’t get myself to snap back to reality and then suddenly I couldn’t breathe at all. The only way I can get out of it when it’s that bad is by counting patters and stuff. I’m a teenager and I know a lot of people say they have anxiety and depression and stuff so I was wondering if it’s normal or if I actually have anxiety or something. (link)

I think you should ask a doctor or open up about it to your family first before you trust the internet. Based on your experience about sudden chest tightening and difficulty in breathing it sounds like you were going through a panic attack. Anxiety is a cause of panic attacks, do you have any other symptoms of anxiety like worrying unnecessarily? Overthinking etc.? It's always better to ask a professional, i hope this answer helped. Good luck.
