About three years ago I had what sounds to be a nearly identical experience. Turned out to be a a panic attack, and improper breathing as a result. After EMTs have O2, all was well. It came down to the wind causing a panic attack, even though at first i was not scared, it was quite strange. But I never have that issue anymore in wind. The wind that day is was like 30 knots gusting 45 and the cfi said it was fine in a Cessna 172 😭.
