Hello....... Thanks for your query. It is possible that you are suffering from panic attacks. It requires antianxiety medication and psychotherapy interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy are useful in such cases. However, you would need to rule out cardiac problems with ECG and thyroid disorders before psychiatric evaluation.  Smoking is not advisable in patents with panic disorder. Hope you found the information useful. Regards Chat Doctor.
