Hi. Deeper causes of anxiety need to find out. Undergo clinical interview, diagnosis, intervention in a systematic manner over 10 sessions of 1hr duration each.

Meditate
Calm is an inside job. Give yourself the gift of serenity and start the day with 10 minutes of solitude and positive energy. Think calm, measured and open-minded, and your daily activities will correspond.

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.
Hi
Psychotherapy is effective in treating anxiety and panic attacks. You can talk about what is making you feel anxious with a psychologist. Do not worry with counseling sessions you will feel better.
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.
