Just a year before BC, I had several Panic attacks. I did all the tests and it was determined that it's panic attack. In the beginning I couldn't believe it and I said I'm not afraid of anything how can I have panic attack, I climb the highest mountain in high altitude and I don't have a problem than I get a panic attack in the car? They try to give me some medication. I didn't accept and started to do Yoga especially breathing exercise. Then I had several attacks but I was able to control them with breathing. After a year I did not get any. Panic attack is your brain, sending wrong signals to your organs and you feel you can not breath, your heart starts to get crazy, all the muscles in your body get tense, etc..., but if your mind can send wrong signals, you have to train it to not do this to you, of course this is my approach and we are all different, but give a try to yoga, it may work for you as well.
