Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. Relax, panic attack is something your mind developed and can only be treated by your mind. Sometimes body experience pain (mostly in nape of neck, shoulders, back, head) termed as psychosomatic pain without any pathology due to stress, mental confusion, depression. Such symptoms need no medication or minimal medication like pain killers but only mental peace and relaxing will subside the symptom. Same way what you feel in neck and mind need no medication but peace and reassurance.
It is perfectly fine to have mind clouded and minimal day to day stress. Talk to someone when you feel you are stressed and about to get that feeling of panic attack. Or just take a walk, breath some fresh air, listen to music, inhale and exhale deeply and relax your mind to feel better. Good luck. Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
