Hai atmsheridan,
Anxiety attack, fear of some danger going to happen, significant dysfunction.
Is this Anxiety is Continuous or episodic ?
If episodic how long it lasts ?
Does it have a Crescendo Decrescendo pattern ?
How frequent that attacks are ?
What happens in between the attacks ?
Panic attack can be due to variety of medical conditions.
You may need to get your ECG ,
Thyroid function tests,
Complete blood count , blood sugar tests done .
If all found to be normal and there were no medical conditions could be found out during examinations then with available information you have probably Panic Disorder.
Do get panic if found to have Panic disorder !
Because it is almost a quite treatable condition . your
Psychiatrist may advise you a SSRI drug and give appropriate
Psychotherapy . you will be all well in few weeks.
My Best wishes !
