Hello,
you are suffering from panic disorder with agarophobia. Depression is most common codition present co-morbidly. first thing to do is rule out any underlaying cause like to know your cardiostatus E.C.G., 2D-ECHO., thyroid function test. If all things turns out to be normal, then you have to take anti-depressant, anxiolytic for period of atleast 8- 10 months. over period of 1 years doses of your medication need to be updated according to your reponse. also exposure and response prevention and other form of behavioural therapies can help you a lot.
