Could Panic Attacks And Palpitations Be Related To Taking Chinese Herbs?

I took a lot of Chinese herbs 4 month ago and some supplements (alpha lip acid, n-acetyl-cist). Also deer antler. About 3 weeks ago under some nights with poor sleep and intense hot weather i had a very stressful family situation. Next day had a panic attack with strong heart palpitations. Also i was into coffee enemas. Now 3 weeks later i still have some discomfort : veins swell, poor circulation and small discomfort on left side of left nipple. Any suggestions? Thyroid panel, lungs, blood and hear EKG normal.

1. since baseline Investigations came Normal, thus hopefully palpitation and panic attack was due to improper sleep and hot/humid conditions, since anxiety can cause the above mentioned physical symptoms.

2. avoid alcohol, caffeine, excess physical –mental exertion, sun exposure, corrylium, smoking, errhine therapy, betel leaves, gruel, soup, day time sleeping, garlic, ginger, onion, spicy-heavy- junk food, mustard oil, pickles, .Take: mint, coriander, tomato, cumin, plenty of water, vitamins and mineral supplements, apple, banana,grapes,dates

3. Prescription drugs available are: mahakalyanak avleha,smritisagar ras,trifla churan,brihat vata chintamani ras,ghritkumari,ashwagandha,brahmi,jatamansi, stresscom.
