Detailed Answer:
What you are describing is consistent with panic disorder. This is very treatable. The best treatment is a combination of an SSRI medication such as Lexapro, and weekly cognitive behavioral therapy with a therapist. I recommend looking for a psychiatrist and therapist in your area to begin treatment.
