I have extreme anxiety attacks to where i feel as if i'm going to die, what could i do at home without medication to prevent the anxiety/panic attacks?

Consult a profession: Without professional guidance, and if you have never received treatment heretofore, self-help reading is about the most that you can do on your own, at home. But that will probably not be sufficient: you are advised to seek an assessment from a psychiatrist or psychologist trained to provide specific cognitive-behavioral techniques. You should discuss your reluctance to receive medication with him.
