I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The symptoms you are mentioning are normal for an acute anxiety disorder person. Understand it to get relief. Fear is objective. We fear something when we see it or experience it. Anxiety is subjective. We fear something which is non existent but we are apprehensive of it. Then every fear symptoms arise when we are anxious. Gasping is one of the symptoms.

You should learn to relax, think differently and live according to the circumstances. Post a direct question to me with all your details in this website and I shall prescribe you with some psychotherapy technique which should cure you.
