Hello......... Thanks for your query. What you describe are suggestive of anxiety attacks. What i would suggest you is to undergo an ECG to rule out cardiac pathology. If normal, you would require a thorough psychiatric evaluation followed by anti-anxiety agents and psychotherapy. Yoga/meditation/breathing relaxation exercises are recommended. Hope you found the information useful. Regards Dr Sundar
