I'm glad that you got home safe and sound. It is a very scary feeling to all of a sudden feel like you can't breathe. Do you think that the cause was due to your not having O2 with you or that you felt panicked about something? That was the cause of mine.
I was trying to get out ahead of everyone when deplaning from a flight and couldn't inhale. In my rush, I held up a lot of people which made me panic even more. I forced myself to move over to the side of the ramp until I could slow my breathing down. That's the trick!
What further changes, other than not forgetting your oxygen can you make to help avoid this?
