Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

Panic attack is a psychological disorder and it happens due to underline stress. It usually happens due to conflict in unconscious mind. I have seen mostly patients have panic attack at night.That may be due to unconscious thought run at night during dreaming state. In panic attack, all test would come normal. for treatment u need a antidepressant and benzodiazepine. Consult a psychiatrist for further treatment.

thanks
