Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Panic attacks is diagnosis of exclusion. First cardiac arrhythmias should be ruled out by doing ECG and Echocardiography.
Treatment consists of two phases.
1. Psychotherapy
2. Medications like SSRI (flouxetine, sertraline, paroxetine) and Benzodiazipines like alprazolam for temporary purposes.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is the best treatment. It consists of several sessions in which you will be exposed to stressful situations or fears that made you panic in a repetitive and controlled manner. It will help to increase your coping power and you will not get panic by triggers.
I would like to advise you to get enough sleep, take regular aerobic excersize, do mantle relaxation excersizes like Yoga and meditation. Join support group.
Hope it helps best.
