"Help me, I can't breathe"

A month ago we got like 15 inches of fresh snow. Before the total accumulation hit the ground I headed to Somerset center dollar general to grab some snowed in food like eggs, milk and bread.
 As I pulled up to the stop sign to U.S 12 I notice a woman pulled over to the side of the highway.
 She was exited her vehicle and trying to flag down a semi heading west on 12. I think to myself what the heck? She had scurried to the back of her SUV as I approached. I thought does she have a flat?
I backed way out of the throttle and as I passed her I read her lips. "Help Me I can't Breathe".
She had something around her neck. I thought she had one of those tubes in her throat. I pulled over as fast as I could. She had started approaching me and I could see those are headphones around her neck. I asked her while we were still walking toward each other  "Are you choking on something"?
"NO I just can't breathe" she replied. Now at her drivers door I get a hold of her arm at the elbow thinking she could pass out. I'm Peering into her SUV and I ask her "Do you have an inhaler or something"? She again said "NO I just can't Breathe". I started rubbing her back and I told her
"if you can talk you can breathe" I asked her did she want me to call 911?911-whats-your-emergency.html She handed me her phone and said yes. Her husband was on the line still she had called him  as I drove up on her I had to hang up on him . Then her phone went into some lock down mode wouldn't let me call 911.computer-friendly-its-hard-drive-like.html I stated to head to my truck for my phone but a woman showed up in smocks. She was behind the semi and turned around when she seen me stop. I'm rubbing the woman's back again. I told her Anxiety can be overwhelming these roads really suck!" Obviously she was having an anxiety attack. Now she's on the phone with her husband talking about meeting at The Deck down under. My hazard lights don't work on my truck. So I asked the woman and the nurse in smocks who had turned around "Do you guys have this can I go"? Their like "Yeah go". Then here comes the snow plow clearing the shoulder. I jumped right out to the middle of the highway. Practically write where I first saw her trying to flag down a semi..... I'm flagging down a snow plow. I got out of there went to dollar general and got my stuff. On the way home everyone was gone. Must not have needed an ambulance.
  Man sometimes anxiety can be overwhelming. supercalifredulious.html
