When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?

I worry that I will drown, even while on land. I have a MASSIVE fear of drowning. I also have a massive fear of suffocating if anything covers both my nose and mouth. We are talking full out, irrational, "I am going to DIE!" panic attacks. Yep, I am all about the normal. ;)
