Are there any conditions, common our uncommon, that could be causing my severe anxiety and panic attacks?

Anxiety & Panic: Anxiety Disorder and Panic Attacks are conditions in and of themselves, sometimes alone and sometimes overlapping. A mental health professional can teach you strategies to deal w/them. Please see your doc to rule out underlying conditions such as thyroid or other hormonal imbalance situations. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help. Peace and good health.
