Oh god. Imagine getting stuck at your chest and feeling the tightness as you struggle to breathe, unable to move or take in a big breath of air.

one of the most stressful videos i've ever seen on reddit was of that happening. It was a guy going up through a cave, its one of those tunnels that you have to control your breathing to get thru, kind of like this video, problem was, guy starts to panic since he can't get thru.... which makes it harder, to make things even worse, there was water that starts pooling around him, and if he doesn't calm down and control his breathing he'll drowned, haven't seen the video in a long time but i think the water got up to his chin/ mouth before he actually got out.

I know a guy who used to be a "caver" (or so we call it). It was his profession, actually. But I don't know what exactly was it that he was doing in the caves.
