Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Panic attacks are always due to underlying anxiety or prolonged stress. Numbness of foot and face could be translated as somatoform symptoms of the anxiety and stress disorder.

Stress is simply a reaction to a stimulus that disturbs our physical or mental equilibrium. In other words, it's an omnipresent part of life. A stressful event can trigger the “fight-or-flight” response, causing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to surge through the body. A little bit of stress, known as “acute stress,” can be exciting—it keeps us active and alert. But long-term, or “chronic stress,” can have detrimental effects on health. You may not be able to control the stressors in your world, but you can alter your reaction to them.

You need to treat the stress factor rather than panic attack part. Consult a psychologist for counseling, awareness, psychotherapy treatment and stress management treatments.
