Get shock?: Not sure what that means, but something you need to get is solid therapy help. Medications alone are not nearly as helpful as a combination w/ really expert psychotherapy. You need to learn new ways to think and behave and interact w/ your surroundings (including people). It's not unusual anymore for this to be ignored after you get a Rx. Do it before decades of this DO actual cardiovascular harm.

No: Panic attacks are caused by inefficient oxidative metabolism in the lower brain. This part of the brain signals the body through the autonomic (automatic) nervous system that enables you to adapt. The easiest way to make it go haywire is by high calorie malnutrition, especially all the sweet stuff. This is called dysautonomia and it is very common throughout the country because of dietary mayhem.

It depends: As in it depends on what you define as shock. The type of shock that most doctors refer to which refers to significant compromise of blood flow is unlikely to occur even from severe anxiety without a preexisting heart condition. But you can go into "psychological shock" states like an acute stress disorder or fugue state where you can have significant cognitive dysfunction.

You decide:: Subjective feeling include an impending sense of doom or fear of dying. Also feeling de- realized eg as though your surroundings are not real or depersonalized eg detached from one self. All are possible or can combine. If having these once per week or too frequent for your comfort discuss with psychiatrist to adjust meds. Goal is rare episodes and 5 or less (10 =most intense). Take care
