    Like others have mentioned it could have been a panic attack. I used to get those - not fun. But also keep in mind that stress & anxiety can make asthma symptoms worse or come on more frequently. If it does turn out to be the asthma, then it's probably a good idea to keep an inhaler with you. If you're caught out without the inhaler, caffeine can help unless contraindicated. The Double Espresso flavor of Clif Shots has 100*mg of caffeine, so maybe carry one of those with you or whatever other caffeine delivery vehicle of your choosing.(My son likes Coke, but he is very rarely allowed to have it any other time.) I'm also concerned that your clavicle re-fractured after having 7 mos. to heal. I recommend taking a calcium supplement that also contains vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc. Did your doc do a bone density test after your clavicle re-fractured? If not it may be a good idea to request one.

    ETA: I'm not a physician nor have I ever played one on TV. The above are just recommendations based on my experiences. YMMV
