Unclear yet: Time to see a cardiologist or internal medicine specialist. They may or may not order a "holter monitor" to check your ECG over longer time frame. Xanax (alprazolam) is not always the best option for panic disorder, especially if you take it irregularly. Consider seeing a board-certified psychiatrist for the most current treatment options for panic.
