In the shower...

I don't know what happened. I was just doing the usual in the shower, washing my hair etc. and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe.
I managed to rinse the soap out my hair and get out to try and calm down. I'm still not calm as I right this and it was an hour ago it came on.
I feel sick and faint and dizzy. My heart is in my head. It's pounding. I wanna throw up. My chest is so tight. My heart is straining, it hurts.
I don't even know how this got triggered this morning. I can't remember what my thoughts were at the time it started.

Hey,

I think that you should look at what has been going on recently in your life in order to find a reason behind what happened. If you have been stressed, for example, then your body (and mind) would have been undergoing various temporary changes. In addition, with stress, it's easy for the mind to be taken from one extreme to the other. You might feel energetic one minute and then suffer a big dip in energy levels and mood, such that it can feel like depression (or panic/anxiety).

So, what has been going on recently? If this genuinely is 'out of the blue', however, then try not to give it too much focus. Perhaps the shower had absolutely nothing to do with it and it could have occurred absolutely anywhere...
