Hyperventilation: 30's male with episodic feelings of doom with chest pain, panicky feelings, and shortness of breath likely has hyperventilation and panic attacks. If confirmed by a medical examination then meditation, biofeedback, and an anti-anxiety medication might help. Is there an underlying problem of ptsd?
