Was I choking or drowning? Or was it something else?

Today during lunch I drank water. I was drinking water trying not to laugh. I swallowed the water then immediately started coughing. I started coughing with great force when I felt my throat tightened. I tried breathing with my mouth I couldn't. I tried breathing from my nose I couldn't either. This lasted for about 2-3 minutes but seemed like forever. My eyes started to get watery too. I know this might sound dramatic but I felt like i was gonna pass out or die. I also managed to say "I can't breath!" It sounded like a dried old man voice. The messed up thing about it I was in a medical class during lunch and the teacher were just chatting away. After wards I felt a massive pain in my chest my head was throbbing too. What happened?

    Yes, you might have got a asthma attack. Tell your parents and go to the doctor. Don't get stressed out over this.

    Do you have asthma? Sounds like you started choking then had a asthma attack. The symptoms sound just like it
