Hi,
The symptoms that you have described are consistent with the presence of an anxiety disorder. However, it will be better to get an ECG done and to get your blood tested for thyroid hormone levels, to rule out any other likely causes. There are many safe and effective medicines to treat anxiety disorders. Please see a psychiatrist and get yourself treated. You will notice a huge difference within a few days.
Bets wishes.
