Anxiety or something else??

Hi just wondering if anyone can help.

I've had this strange thing happen a couple of times in the last month or so with the most recent being last night. I was just on my phone when all of a sudden I had to gasp for a breathe and it almost felt like I zoned back into reality. It's quite scary and really makes me panic. It only lasts a few seconds so I'm not reallt sure if anything anxiety related I'm thinking maybe something else. It also happened last week when I was falling asleep last week and I sat up gasping for air and my heart was pounding. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea what could cause this ?? Thank you

Could it be a panic attack? I'm no expert mind

Could be heart related. I would keep a record of them and get in touch with your GP. It doesn’t sound like an anxiety panic attack to me.

Thank you for your reply. I've had a couple in the past and they seem slightly different and lasted longer which is why I'm a bit uncertain
