Hi... these are symptoms of Panic attacks.
Emotional stress or nervousness sends threat signals to the brain which in turn responds by triggering certain hormone and chemical release in the body which leads to breathlessness, racing heart, dry throat, heaviness in chest, dizziness, a sense that something will go wrong to you... that leads to helplessness and crying.
Next Steps
Kindly note down these triggers of stress, so that you can make efforts to avoid them.
Also meet a Psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and consider starting medications. Also start relaxation therapy and various other therapies are also available for these panic attacks.
Health Tips
Often Panic attacks occur in absence of real threat; its a perceived threat that triggers off these attacks.
They are very much treatable.
Also get a basic heart evaluation done, in case we missing something.
All the best.
