Panic attack or anxiety

"I have been experiencing this problem for the last 4–5 years. It started during the national anthem, when I would feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Gradually, the same thing started happening during religious prayers (aarti), while sitting on the back seat of a bike, and in other situations as well. Before these situations, I automatically start thinking that I will feel dizzy. When it happens, I experience dizziness, a fast heartbeat, sweating, and a strong urge to sit down. I remain conscious and can hear and understand everything around me, but I feel very uncomfortable. This usually does not happen when I am alone. It mostly happens in specific situations or around other people. I would like to know whether this could be anxiety, panic attacks, or something else."

Taken together?

Hello Doctor, I previously used Naltrexone and am considering asking my doctor to prescribe it again. I am also currently taking Atomoxetine. Is it safe to take Naltrexone and Atomoxetine together? I had to stop Atomoxetine in the past because it caused urinary retention (difficulty passing urine). If I restart Naltrexone, could it worsen this problem or interact with Atomoxetine? Thank you.
