The symptoms you describe, especially with the history of anxiety, are consistent with panic attacks. These are episodes in which an acute anxiety attack can have debilitating symptoms, including the feeling you are going to die. It is important to talk with your doctor about these symptoms so that you can be started on medications to help prevents these attacks, and treat them when you do have them. Oftentimes talking with a psychotherapist is beneficial as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
