Generalized anxiety: or panic disorder, but these symptoms and clinical correlation with the setting certainly sound like that may be the case. If you continue having palpitations and sweats, the best way is to see a healthcare provider to rule out organic disease. Once you are determined not to have actual heart or lung disease, or infection, then you will need a psychiatrist to help manage stress/anxiety.
