Start Deep-Breathing If you're not focused on how to calm your body through slow, intentional belly-breathing, you're missing out. Belly-breathing is free, location independent, and easy to implement Start Deep-Breathing If you're not focused on how to calm your body through slow, intentional belly-breathing, you're missing out. Belly-breathing is free, location independent, and easy to implement Go to Bed Early This may sound impossible if you're accustomed to staying up late to catch up on the To-Do list. But this one's a MUST.Sleep deprivation is a huge anxiety culprit. Inadequate shuteye can amplify the brain's anticipatory reactions, upping overall anxiety levels. Reduce Caffeine, Sugar and Processed Foods From Your Diet Caffeine can cause heart palpitations if you ingest too much. Caffeine also can trigger panic or anxiety attacks, especially if you have an anxiety disorder. Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can also cause palpitations. Sugar acts as an adrenal stimulant and can cause anxiety or even panic attacks. Other offensive foods include those containing refined flour products, and even wheat since this causes inflammation. Besides caffeine, and sugar, food allergies are a big contributing factor in your overactive central nervous system.

Hello I understood your issue. You can try Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) or Exposure therapy.  It may work for your issue..you can see the improvement with these therapies. But if it is not working to you, then you have to take medications along with therapy. But there is a chance to see the improvement with these therapies. Don't worry. Everything will be alright.

Hi... Yes, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) works well in such cases (panic attacks and anxiety). Infact it is minds way of bringing our attention to underlying issues that we may been repressing for so long. This is completely treatable with therapy alone in the early stages. It is only when the frequency and intensity of panic attacks become debilitating and start impacting the clients daily life functioning, medication is introduced.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist. CBT along with Psychoanalysis and Lifestyle Guidance is required.
