It sounds like medication might be a good place to start. Your description of subconscious panic attacks makes me understand what you're dealing with more accurately. I hope your doctor's can find a med that helps you. When I first started having them, I was in my early 20s without any health problems so went to my PCP from childhood and he put me on an old tricyclic antidepressant called tofranil for 6 months to stabilize my brain chemistry. Not sure this is a standard med but might be a starting place to talk to your doctor about.
