Namaste,

Both symptoms you describe can be caused by anxiety, but are usually more indicative of a "panic attack".

Without any other information, that's all I can give you.

i would have full blow panic attacks, if i was blocked at somewhere ( traffic or train...)
However, most time i am ok if i was not at that situation.
today, i haven't had panic attack, but still feel shortness of breath and racing heart, what is that?

thank you for your help
