Are these anxiety attacks? Or something else? And what can I do about them?

Hi,I did the following:

Are these anxiety attacks? Or something else? And what can I do about them?I'm not sure if this anxiety, or something else, but when I'm in a bad situation-- or thinking of a bad situation, or feeling guilt and/or regret, I get these short bursts of what I'd guess you'd say was anxiety. I'd find myself hyperventilating and would end up either whimpering loudly, shouting out, or bursting into song (I'm being serious). If it's really bad, I'd do something to hurt myself, like slap myself or bite my tongue or scratch my arms or punch something-- anything to distract myself. It happens, as I said, in short bursts that only last a few seconds, but I'd feel really edgy, wired (and yet exhausted at the same time), and anxious for a long time afterward. They usually happen right after another, too. When it's bad, I get them back to back. It's so strange. I don't understand if it's anxiety or something else. I've only had a full-blown anxiety attack once (it lasted a few minutes), and the two "attacks", while similar, aren't the same. So... what is it?

Description: My chest would feel really tight, I'd hyperventilate, and I'd feel like I was being suffocated from the inside out. They come unexpectedly, though almost always when I'm, as I said, in a bad situation or thinking about a bad situation. Feelings of regret and guilt bring them on the most, however.

Help?
Forgot to include that I often gasp out loud (almost like a scream) like I'm trying to pull breath out of me.
And excuse all the typos.

It could very well be an anxiety disorder, But what your describing seems more like turrets, or a schizophrenic disorder. Go to a doctor and describe your symptoms, they can surely be treated and taken care of.

i suffer from anxiety, and when i was faced with a over whelming moment i would usually break down into sobs and tears, not being able to cope, until i finally stopped from exhaustion, Im not on medications and my anxiety is under control with some exceptional breakdowns.

Sounds like an anxiety disorder.

I have one but it's mine more passive (my legs wobble so I can't stand, It's mostly just me not doing anything but sitting where I fell).

It's not tourette's, probably not schizophrenia.

Anyways, that's definitely not just a little thing, go get a doctor's appointment.
