What Causes Dizziness, Shortness Of Breath And Feeling Of Racing Heart?

I have been feeling very jittery for two days now. No caffeine, no meds. Didn't sleep at all last night because of it. Feel like my heart is racing. I am prone to anxiety and have shortness of breath as well as sharp stomach pains that come and go. Also have had dizzy spells for a few months that happen a couple of times each week. Went to ER two years ago for dizziness and shortness of breath and they found nothing.
