Go see a doctor immediately. Hell, go to the emergency room. Any sort of breathing problem or heart problem is, in medical terms, a Big Fucking Deal and you should get that checked out.

As we always say here, none of us are doctors. I have been a first responder with a Fire Department Rescue Squad. The fact that this is happening on a regular basis is disturbing and needs to be checked by a Cardiologist. The list of possible reasons start with anxiety and include a host of other problems.
Trouble breathing and a rapid heart rate at any time qualify as an emergency, even if you know they have self-corrected in the past, you should dial 911 and go to the hospital while it is happening. This gives the doctors the best chance of accurately diagnosing the problem if they can see it while it is happening. The paramedics can also do an EKG in the field while they are taking you to the hospital which also gives the doctors information they may not get if you have self-corrected before getting to the hospital.
Just how worry some or dangerous is this problem. As I said I'm not a doctor or am I a paramedic. If I was the first responder to respond to your 911 call though I would recommend strongly that you allow the paramedics, who are following me, to take your to the hospital when they arrive.
If you have insurance the cost of everything will be covered. If you do not have insurance you won't be turned away there are programs available to cover the costs. You are someone that needs to be seen at a hospital. Don't let how to pay cause you not to call 911. Payment is secondary to life saving and there are programs to cover the costs if you cannot pay.

As we always say here, none of us are doctors. We know nothing about your situation other than what you are experiencing. I will say that since there is a pattern to this as to when it happens, if this is the only time, that there may be something contributing to this issue. I know its scary when it involving the heart or ability to breath but if it is a problem with the heart, only a Dr can verify or eliminate it as a heart problem after some testing. Perhaps you are on some medications and a new one is having drug interaction with the others, this can easily happen if its a new drug on the market without enough time out there to have knowledge yet of drug interaction problems and you goin to the Dr. and them hearing of this, adds one more piece of info that there is an issue so that in the future, Drs and Druggists don't make that error again. I have had problems at times with a pain with trying to take a normal to deep breath and it has happened at night when I laid down. I've been seen by a Dr. My heart is fine. My issue was caused by pinched nerves in the back. Until the nerves are unpinched, the problem with breathing pain in chest will continue. I've learned from my chiropracter what can help, stretching out my back to unpinch it. Sometimes need the chiropracter. It can be caused simply from the jolting of a recent fall, playing a rough sport, lifting wrong when moving something heavy. As you can see, there are so many possible reasons for one of the things you are experiencing. What if you've developed an allergy later in life, or allergic reaction to something new to you. It is very possible and there's no way to know until you are tested and step by step the most common reasons for your problems ruled out. Please go see your Dr. or if none and not insured, do the paperwork to get on Obamacare if in the US or in another country, check for lost cost health care if thats your situation and then see a Dr.
Good luck!
