Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Your seem to be suffering from a panic disorder with agoraphobia. If you are having recurrent such symptoms or having difficulty managing your stress, then I would advise you consult a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help you overcome your problems.
Wish you all the best.
