What Causes Frequent Anxiety Attacks With Dizziness And Headache?

I had my first panic attack 3 months ago and had 4-5 more since (mild to moderate). I was fine until about a week ago when I started experiencing extreme anxiety coupled with fear of having a terminal illness. This in turn has the frequency of my panic attacks.
I had to EKGs made, both came back normal.
I experience symptoms of anxiety on and off, such as rapid heartrate, dizziness, shaking, feeling cold and mild headache and chest pain.
What should I do?
