Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Panic attacks are always due to underlying anxiety disorder. You need to address and treat anxiety disorder in order to cure panic attacks.

Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety
and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a racing heart and shakiness. There are a number of anxiety disorders: including generalized anxiety disorder, a specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and panic disorder among others. While each has its own characteristics and symptoms, they all include symptoms of anxiety.

Anxiety and panic attacks is usually treated with a combination of psychiatric medicines, psychotherapy, life style changes, meditation and exercise. Please consult a psychiatrist or psychologist.
