Anxiety: Sorry, when you list CAD as a diagnosis you actually have, then while you may actually be all anxiety driven, we can't give you reassurance. You need to discuss your status with your own physician and get your situation clarified.

PANIC: Get an evaluation from a psychiatrist to help identify what panic means to you and whatever else may be bothering you. Consider recommendations for medication if any are given. Get a referral for a reputable psychotherapist to speak with. Meds and therapy combined are most optimal; no just one or the other.
