First of all, hello I am a fellow panic attack sufferer!. I've been to the point you are at and it feel like NO ONE can understand what is going on at all, but trust me when I tell you that you ARE NOT alone!. I really wouldn't be able to tell you why it got so bad now with out knowing what ( if anything ) in your life has changed!. I understand you want to get to a doctor, but you might not even need it to be honest!. Panic attacks are terrible, terrible feelings but with some work you can help yourself get through it!. Now I'm not telling you not to go to a doctor, I'm just telling you that if all that is wrong with you is panic attacks its not 100% needed!. It sounds to me like you have a social disorder of some kind, because you said it happens in stores and at work!. How do you feel when you are at home or not in such a large crowd!? I've heard people come up with many ways to try to get rid of panic attacks!. Some tell you to try to make the attack worse and the harder you try the sooner you will realize that if you want it to be worse it won't be!. Others say to close your eyes and picture a " happy place", some tell you to work your way slowly back into your every day life and see what happens!. The thing is, everyone is different!. There is no sure fire 100% effective thing that I can tell you that will make your attacks stop!. Just because it works for me does not mean it will for you!. If I were you I would try to get out more!. Go for walks if you can!. Very short at first, just down your road for 5 mins and back, then next day 7 mins and back and so on!. Life is short, and it can only be as good as you let it be!. I really wish you the best and I hope you can get over this, as I know what it is like and I wouldn't wish it on anyone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This may sound trite but believe me this really does work!. Anxiety and stress go hand in hand; relieve the stress and the anxiety lessens!.One of the best anxiety relievers is a good brisk walk where you get a bit out of breath!. Focus on slowing down your breathing as over breathing makes the anxiety symptoms worse!.

I had some anxiety problems years ago I wouldn't want to go out any where alone my heart would start pounding I thought I was going to die so I was so afraid to go anywhere, I would go to work and in my office alone I would start to feel like I would pass out!. It was awful, I would take my kids to the movies and before it started I would tell them we had to leave I couldnt stay there at all and it would come and go in waves there were times I was ok then I would panic again, when I went to see my doctor he said it was stress my son had kidney problems so he assumed I was just stressed out, latter on I was still feeling the same and he finally tested me and found out that my thyroid was not working right I had hypothyroidism which was making me feel crazy once on the medication the symptoms went away but it took so long to find out what it was during those times because I thought it was stress I would do things to make me tired like mow the lawn or work out any thing to take my mind off of the way I was feeling!.
