Interesting. This describes my experience pretty well, up to the point where I couldn't hold my breath any longer and took an involuntary lungful of water. However, while the chest spasms and all the rest of it were uncomfortable, I didn't consider it painful, per se. I was a strong swimmer at the time and accustomed to holding my breath to my limits of endurance, so maybe that made the difference.
Thanks for this. I'm glad you didn't have to deal with searing pain since panic is already more than enough.
