Hi,
From what you have mentioned, you seem to be having quite a few anxiety symptoms. Panic disorder and depression are treatable conditions. You will need treatment with medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like sertraline. In addition, use of benzodiazepines like clonazepam for short duration will help take care of anxiety initially. You can discuss these options with your GP and seek a psychiatric consultation if required.
In addition, exercises and meditation regularly will help you relax and control your anxiety.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
