I have this feeling in my gut that everything is wrong or is going wrong and I draw my breaths heavily like I'm lifting iron. I don't know what's wrong. There are a few stressors in my life but nothing major. Just normal life. I'm sure I have fewer problems than a lot of other people but at the same time, I'm very sure I'm not alright.

Sounds to me like a panic attack. You could be having issues because of prolonged anxiety.

Or straight up chemical imbalance in brain. Aka, you may need meds.

Either way, see a psych? If you can't, talk to your local doc?

Side note; might be other stuff like vitamin D or B deficiency too. Again, a doc visit could help.

Oh, also arrhythmia or tachycardia also cause anxiety issues sometimes. Or even diabetes, with low blood sugar.

To me it also sounds like a panic attack, but since you say there's nothing major going on it could be one of the things @NoMad mentioned
