Dr. William Holmes answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Not Unusual: It is not unusual for people who have panic attacks to also have an increased level of anxiety throughout the day. If you have not done so it would be a good idea to establish a connection with a mental health provider to look at these difficulties.
