Don't know
From past couple of months, My sister is facing issues like racing heartbeat, pain in left area muscles, neck muscle stretching, panicking, shortness of breathe/irregular breathe sometimes Talked to a cardiologist he checked ECG and Echo - 2D report came good nothing abnormalities. He said it's anxiety. Been on benzodiazepines composition also relaxed for sometime but she is feeling weak also.. Is it anxiety or what not able to understand yes that's true she panicks alot in small things and overthinking, bad thoughts also rushes through her mind which create panic in her mind.
Heaviness in chest area also sometimes. Not able to understand what is it..? Should she take anxiety treatment or what?

Panic attacks are symptoms of underlying psychiatric illness like generalised anxiety or agoraphobia.
Need to diagnose the underlying cause.
And treat accordingly.
Can get better easily.
Benzodiazepenes are short term solutions and not a permanent solution.
Next Steps
consult a psychiatrist and take meds for treatment.

Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Intermittent intense nervousness in absence of cardiac problem points towards Anxiety. Many people will give free advice like 'tum tension leti ho. Yoga karo. Relax karo'. But let me tell you it's a medical (condition) treatable with proper medicines. Benzodiazepines are addicting and not to be used long term.
