Panic Attacks?

Today I was just laying around and all of a sudden I got a sharp pain in my back that made me somewhat nauseous and then I got the chills and my whole body felt tight, like I couldn't breathe. I got up and went to the bathroom, as I felt I was going to throw up, and when I stood up my body got tingly and my throat got even tighter and I was very dizzy with my ears ringing as well. I didn't know what was happening or what to do so I went and laid back down, and when I did this after a few minutes the dizziness and tightness went away but the ringing continued for a bit. And then it all stopped and it just scared me because I felt like I was going crazy. Something similar happened a few weeks ago, but I didn't think much of it because it wasn't even close to this bad and I thought I was just nervous.
Are these panic attacks? Is it something I should get looked at by a doctor?

My husband had a simple ingrown toe nail removed and has been suffering ever since from a sharp nerve pain in his toe for six months now.  Has anyone ever had this problem and what did you do?

Could you 'feel' your heartbeat get faster? Also, what is your approximate age?
