YOu should go to your Dr. and have an exam to rule out any physical problems. Then if nothing is found, you may want to see a therapist or psychiatrist because it sounds like you may be suffering from anxiety attacks. I have these, although different symptoms. Millions suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, so don't be alarmed if you might be also. With meds and cognitive behavioral therapy, anxiety/panic can be controlled. Good luck to you!
