Panic attacks: We are assuming you are having a panic attack, i would rule out cardiac, neurologic, eye causes, or drug induced causes the label it as panic attacks, though it sounds like one.

Medical evaluation: I agree with dr. Chand that you need a medical evaluation of these episodes. However, your description is classic for panic attacks. There's good treatment available for these, both through psychotherapy and medications. When having an attack, breathing exercises help. Breathe in to a count of 4, hold breath for count of 7, breathe out mouth for 8 counts. Repeat 4 times. Panic does not kill.
