How Should Pressure In The Nerves While Lying Down And Weakness In The Body Due To Panic Attacks Be Treated?

Hi, I ve been seeing different doctors about some issues I ve had lately. I ve noticed my throat felt swollen since May. I had thyroid testing done, then was told it may be due to high heart rate. A cardio told me that was not the case. I went to the ER 3 weeks ago believing I had nerve damage or a tooth abysses -- I was told I was having a panic attack. Now it s gotten worse and I cannot even lie down without feeling pressure on my nerves and sensations throughout my body. Everything feels heavier and my body feels week. I m terrified that neglecting dental work for a few years has caused some serious damage to my body. I have a dentist appt this evening, but I m wondering if I should go to the hospital instead.
