My idea was to do a Bishop sac and get a good position. Bwing a little intimidated by it, I settled for a draw. Your comments are welcome.

You were correct about the bishop sacrifice. In the process black threatened white with a checkmate, hence white had to exchange the queen for the rook.

However, considering it was a 5 minute blitz game, was this a feasible continuation which you could have found?

where is the checkmate in Secretofmana's line after 22.Qh4 ?

22... e5, threatening 23... Rh6 so the queen is pinned to the king, and also a forced mate.
