Me and my four kids (ages 8-15) had it about a year ago. Quite terrifying -- the first bad fit I had, I really thought I was going to die in the grocery store parking lot, with two of my kids watching. I simply could not breath for well over 30 seconds (which felt like about 5 minutes). But it passed, before I passed out and/or died.

I was reassured to learn that as unpleasant as it is, non-infants don't actually die of it. So you just learn to bear it.

Also, for all of us, it helped a lot to learn the somewhat counter-intuitive trick of trying to breath through ones nose, not mouth, when gasping for breath.
