Panic or abn rhythm: It is likely you are either having abnormal heart rhythm, arrhythmia, or panic. To determine this, you would be advised to see your doctor and get an ekg as part of an evaluation for an abnormal heart rhythm. Once that is ruled out, you could then be assessed for panic, an anxiety disorder and appropriate treatment.

Anxiety: The cause of these symptoms could range in severity. Please get a medical evaluation immediately to rule out the medical causes.
