People who have: Panic attacks are ok but often fear dying or some other catastrophic event. The fear of another panic attack becomes the real issue. Some therapists will even prescribe panic attacks to help the person see that they are ok and that the attacks are self-limiting. Please see doc to rule out/identify medical situation and a psychologist for support. www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help.
