But be sure that it’s panic attacks and not caused by something else. I speak from experience. What was, in retrospect, seizure activity was misdiagnosed as a panic attack. It was a reasonable diagnosis; my husband’s Alzheimer’s was getting worse and I was his caregiver. I had had previous panic attacks. But it wasn’t right. I had a meningioma, easily spotted by a MRI, that was the cause. I think the important thing is to thoroughly investigate all possible physical causes of the symptoms before deciding it’s panic attacks because the treatments are so different.
