Answers:

These are all symptoms of panic attacks. Pains in the back, neck, chest etc. are from tensing the muscles from stress. Feeling like you are having trouble taking your next breath is hyperventilating. Breathing fast and through your nose causes it. You don't even notice you're doing it and suddenly, you feel like you have to make yourself breathe or you can't breathe deeply enough. You will never stop breathing. Our bodies are built in a way to prevent that. If we had to conciously make ourselves breathe, we would stop when we sleep. From what I learned, apparently, when you hyperventilate you overbreathe causing a dilution of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide building up is that uncomfortable feeling when you hold your breath. So that carbon dioxide will always force you to take that next breathe. So you will never just 'stop breathing'. Not trying to sound like a doc but I'm just repeating what I read in a book on panic attacks.
