Brief Answer:
Symptoms could also be due to seizures
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. These symptoms could be related to anxiety/panic.
In addition, these symptoms could also be due to complex partial seizures, arising from the temporal lobe.
Long-term video EEG would be helpful in confirming the diagnosis.
After confirming the diagnosis, appropriate medications can be used to control your symptoms.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
