The answer is "panic disorder".

Panic disorder refers to an anxiety disorder portrayed by reoccurring startling fits of anxiety. Panic attacks are sudden times of exceptional dread that may incorporate palpitations, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, deadness, or an inclination that something extremely terrible will happen.
