These feeling happen at random times and they have been happening about 4 out of 7 days a week. When I get mad or angry it gets hard to breath and my heart races. No I'm not currently on any medication

Brief Answer:
Anxiety attacks

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

In some anxiety attacks can trigger abnormal behavioral response. I suspect the same in you. Such anxiety attacks can be triggered by any normal day to day incidence or they can get initiated without any stimulus.

I suggest you to practice some mind relaxation exercises like Yoga and Meditation. If this do not help you may have to be counselled by a Psychiatrist.

Hope, I answered your query.
