yes. It sounds like you were starting to have a panic attack. It'll happen to everybody at some point. Hypnotherapy can help (as long as you go to a good, registered therapist) or your doctor may be able to help. You could always try cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT for dummies is excellent!)

Yes, a phobia can very well feel like that. Sometimes you may not realize that you fear something until you somewhat experience it. Sometimes whenever I see something or hear about something, my heart begins to pound and I feel very uneasy. Please answer mine?

Yeah, although people react to things in different ways. Heart pounding probably happens in most cases
