On the freeway, I started sweating. I thought my shoe would get stuck underneath the gas pedal to cause a crash. What is that?

Even at the time it seemed unreasonable.

You most probably had a panic attack which makes you have intense feat of something happening for no apparent reason. Some of the symptoms of panic attacks are nausea, flushed feeling, shortness of breath and dizziness. If you've had extended periods of frequent panic attacks then you should see a doctor. See http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/panic-attacks/DS00338/DSECTION=symptoms for more on the same.

Definately an anxiety attack. If it happens again before you can see a doctor, try to keep calm by breathing. Go as slow as the speed limit in the slow lane to realize that what you are feeling isn't an immediate danger.
