Hi
What you’re describing sounds like long-standing panic disorder where the body has become highly sensitized over time. When panic continues for years, the threshold for triggering it becomes very low, which is why even small things now feel overwhelming. Medication like Provonal Forte may reduce intensity temporarily, but it does not retrain the brain’s fear response, so the cycle continues. The “shock in brain” feeling is a surge of anxiety and not actual damage, though it can feel very real and frightening. The good part is that even chronic panic disorder is treatable with the right structured approach.
At this stage, the focus has to shift from just controlling symptoms to retraining your response to panic through therapy, especially CBT with exposure and interoceptive techniques. Avoiding sensations or trying to suppress panic actually strengthens it, while gradually facing and allowing it reduces its power over time. You don’t have to live like this even after 20 years, but it will require consistent, guided work rather than only relying on tablets. Panic disorder is very much treatable. Take therapy.
