Hello, thanks for posting a question on our site.
Your symptoms point to a panic attack. They can be caused by the use of a substance like marijuana, emotional distress, phobias etc. I usually advise my patients to do a deep breath exercise, avoid caffeine and do a general exercise like jogging and it helps. I advise you see a physician to confirm and physically evaluate you and to know the best way to manage your situation. Warm regards
