scary orgasms please help

hello I'm a 18 year old female and december wasn't good for me I was stressed over everything and then around Christmas I got bronchitis and I usually masturbate everyday the day before I got bronchitis everything was normal and felt like it always did when I would orgasm but the next day I did it again as usual and it felt like I couldn't breathe even though I could inhale and exhale as usual my body felt like I full of hot air and floating and I notice when I started having the orgasm it felt like adrenaline was pumping threw me like I was panicking and it stopped as soon as the orgasm did and I have really bad anxiety and depression so this is making me freak out even more to the point where I haven't masturbated in a few weeks I tested it 3 times during when I was sick and it did the same thing over and over and I told my doctor but I couldn't explain it right and all she said was its just all in my head if someone could help me that would be great

Good, I think your Dr will understand much better if you tell her exactly what you told us.
I'm still thinking it was because you had bronchitis, which can make it hard to breathe. You also have anxiety and panic attacks. During sex or masturbation people can breathe shallow. If you have bronchitis it already feels like you're not getting enough air. You freaked out when this happened while you were sick and you worry about it happening again, the worry can cause it to happen again.
Have to tried controlled deep breathing? That might really help.

It is a good idea to write down your problem in stead of describing it.  You may practice breathing with alternate nostrils. This technique is called alternate nostril breathing. This breathing helps to calm down as well.The above suggestion sounds quite logical.

I'm not a Dr but I'll try my best to tell you what I think might be going on.
When you have bronchitis it can be a little hard to breathe. Building up to and during an orgasm people will breathe harder or more shallow. Bronchitis may interfere with your breathing during that time and you freak out.
You already had anxiety so you got scared when this kept happening so now it's become a cycle, thinking this is going to happen, it can happen and you get anxious or are on the verge of a panic attack or have one.
I hope all of this makes sense. I might be right and I could be completely wrong.
It might be a good idea to see your Dr again and explain this just like you did here. Maybe then she'll understand and will be able to give you an answer as why this is happening.
