@eddie61: If I were you I would not go another day without finding a therapist to talk things over with. We all need help getting from day to day and feeling good about it. If money is an issue call around - maybe a social worker will have contacts for free or a sliding scale fee schedule for quality psychologists!
Panic attacks and anxiety can lead to serious physical issues and are so scary to experience. There is help in the form of therapy, medication evaluation, etc., all can make it possible to be happy again and find security you need. These are ways that worked for me -I hope it helps you find peace in this crazy world.

There’s nothing wrong with ruling out a medical cause for your symptoms. I did that when I ended up in the ER due to an anxiety attack many years ago. Everything checked out fine. Of course, I followed up with my primary sho referred me to a cardiologist. I had test to ensure my heart was fine and it was.

Treatment is key. I was very successful and would encourage you to seek treatment. It’s definitely something professionals can assist you with. I found that understanding what was happening to me when the episodes occurred was quite helpful.
