It's not clear what: Your question is. It sounds like you should consider psychotherapy to help you understand and overcome the panic attacks. A combination of cognitive behavior therapy and some insight oriented therapy will help you. Good luck ; let us know how it works.

Panic attacks: If tests on your heart are normal, it could be panic attacks. Panic attacks are emotional reactions. It causes the person to breath in a shallow way depriving the body of oxygen. Key is to practice deep breathing and breath deeply when having an attack. See a terapist to help you learn techniques and find the source of the panic. Learn relaxation techniques.
