Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

What are you describing is either anxiety or a panic attack. This is uncomfortable, but not at all dangerous. If this persists, you should seek treatment with a psychiatrist. Anxiety is best treated with an SSRI medication such as escitalopram or sertraline, in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With treatment, you will absolutely feel better.
