You have panic: Disorder? You would need to work with an individual therapist to find out what your specific triggers are to having panic attacks and how to get them under control. See a family doctor to rule out physical causes and then see a psychiatrist for medicinal help and full diagnostic evaluation to make sure that panic disorder is indeed the primary diagnosis and then you could be referred on to therapywith a cbt therapist. Best wishes.

I don't know: Some things which can ^ risk for panic attacks include: Risks >previous abuse/ trauma as well as genetic predisposition. Traumatic brain injury, hyperthyroidism, hypoglycemia, mitral valve prolapse, recurrent hyperventilation, extreme physical activity, drug abuse & use of stimulants may ^ risk. Acute stressors or chronic stress, illness, claustrophobia & major life changes can also play a part.
