I : I would strongly recommend a careful medical evaluation to rule out other medical conditions that could mimic panic attacks - for example hyperthyroidism . In any event, if the medical evaluation is unremarkable , you could talk to your psychiatrist and consider treatment with an ssri as well as cognitive behavioral therapy.
