I have been trying to figure out what may have caused what happened to me last night. Im 22 years old though so a heart attack would be a little odd maybe, I dunno. Anyways, I went to bed last night ~5am (im a night person) with my headphones on listening to music. I started to get shortness of breath. I couldnt go more then 4-5 breaths without having to suck in a really large one or two to "catch up" or so it felt. Kinda felt like my lungs got smaller so I was having to breathe more.

Then every couple of minutes there would be this thing that lasted for like 2 seconds. It felt like my chest area tightened up, felt this weird tingling, and I got very dizzy, but it only lasted for like 2 seconds, very quick. After that I would be breathing harder. Throughout there was pretty much no chest pain, just the shortness of breath, and that weird thing that happened 3-4 times maybe. However, it wasnt like I was running a marathon, I could slow my breathing temporarily but I would still start feeling like I was out of breath.

Dont remember falling asleep, but I woke up and everything felt fine as any other day. I smoke cigarettes regularly, and have been taking vicodine (contains tylenol) regularly lately.

Just curious as what this could be. First time it has happened. Thanks for any insight.
