Anxiety: Congratulations on quitting smoking. Keep it up. The symptoms you're describing are consistent with anxiety. Breathing relaxation techniques are helpful. Occasionally medication or psychotherapy may be necessary. Your doctor should be able to find appropriate treatment option for you.

Reassurance: If you monitor your pulse at the time of your symptoms and your pulse is perfectly regular, that would rule out any abnormality in your heart's rhythm. Try not to dwell on your breathing or heart beat. Your symptom does not suggest a heart disorder.
