Get Blood Work: The first question is,whether or not you are being treated for your panic attacks. If,so, your meds may need adjusting. Thyroid problems can present with symptoms that feel psychological, usually closer to depression. However, your Doc can easily do a blood work up to check this out. You can take both of these steps at the same time.

Panic symptoms: Your physician can do lab tests to check your thyroid, yes thyroid disorder can affect mood. Please see your doc if you suspect thyroid. If not organic, recommend you see a psychologist expert in treating anxiety disorders. EMDR is one of the most effective treatments and can work faster than some other talk-therapies
