Nitrous oxide is a dissociative, meaning that it is an antagonist at NMDA receptors. The floating feeling is almost certainly due to this effect. Feeling as though you're dying is also not uncommon with dissociative drugs. Many people with panic disorder state that they panic because they experience dissociative symptoms (Arthur-Jones & Fox, 1994). I think that different people often have dissimilar reactions to the feeling of dissociation. Because you've had panic attacks before, I suspect that you may be more likely than most people to experience the negative effects that you describe.
