So sorry you are dealing with these panic attacks. I am a 20+ year anxiety disorder sufferer, and I really hate panic attacks too!!
Did something happen recently that may have stressed you, worried you? Sometimes if we know what triggered it, and address what that trigger was, our anxiety will soon go away.
If your anxiety continues, please make an appointment with a psychiatrist for possible as-needed medication. Medications such as Valium, Xanax, Ativan, will take the anxiety away in 20 minutes, and will calm you for 4 hours.
And check online for a therapist in your area who deals with anxiety, and talking to them should really help you.
Try to destress best you can, get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated, eat healthy foods and get a little exercise. All of these things will help your anxiety.
You are not alone! There is another board on here, called "Anxiety" that has more people on it, if you'd like to post on there as well.
Good luck, it's scary, but you are going to be okay.
