Hello welcome to Chat Doctor You probably have \"panic disorder\" which is characterized by panic attacks (intense anxiety attacks). But since you smoke also, it is advised to stop smoking as soon as possible as it may aggravate your attacks. Secondly you should consult a general physician to rule out any cardiac pathology (heart disease). After that, consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management. Following treatment strategies are advised- 1) SSRI Chat Doctor.
