Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.

It seems that you are having panic disorder. You should consult psychiatristfor detailed evaluation. Doctor may rule out physical causes like cardiac causes, thyroid dysfunction etc.

Doctor may advise you to start anti anxiety drugs like clonazepam or lorazepam or may give antidepressant drugs like peroxetine.

You may also get benefit by doing breathing exercise or yoga.

Sometimes, tea or coffee in excess may trigger panic attack so better they should be avoided.

Thanks.
