Asthma: You should be checked for asthma. It could cause all the symptoms you describe. The intermittancy suggests a trigger - possibly allergic(?). Pulmonary function testing would be helpful. Asthma is very treatable. When you can't breathe, it can make you anxious and makes your heart pound (which you also list).
