9 Year Daughter, Feeling Of Something Struck In Throat, Feeling Not Able To Breath. Globus Hystericus?

My 9 year old daughter feels something stuck in her throat there is nothing followed with rapid heart beat & she cries alot & panics. She is breathing fine but she feels she can't breath well. It taked me about an hour to calm her down. Usally happens when she is in trouble for something she did. Could it be globus hystericus?
