Deep breathing: it calms your mind instantly and allows you the headspace to think clearly Visualization: when you visualise a positive outcome, your body language changes instantly. Soldiers are taught to Positive self talk and inner dialogue: when the enemy is near and the situation is difficult in war, your own mind can be your biggest asset or your biggest obstacle. Soldiers are taught to repeat these words constantly in their minds: “I can handle this one step at a time. I know how to deal with it” instead of thinking “i am going to fall” Set tiny goals: focus on finishing only the immediate tiny task at hand and not care about the bigger 6 month mission. This allows you to reduce stress and focus. Train hard under stress: You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your level of training. Soldiers go through rigorous training to prepare for the most difficult situations. I hope these practices will pull you out of your panic attack.

Hi you’re experiencing is a very real and common pattern, especially in high pressure environments like medical college. Your symptoms suggest performance related anxiety along with anticipatory anxiety, where your body goes into a fight or flight response in situations like cadaver exposure or being observed by professors. The fact that all your medical reports are normal and your symptoms reduce when you are with family or companions is actually reassuring. It clearly indicates that this is anxiety driven and not a physical illness. The repeated checking of vitals is your mind’s attempt to feel in control, but over time it ends up strengthening the anxiety cycle instead of reducing it. This pattern can be worked on effectively through gradual exposure, where you slowly build tolerance to these triggers, along with grounding techniques to calm your body in the moment. Cognitive restructuring will help you challenge the fear attached to these situations, and reducing the habit of checking vitals will be an important step in breaking the loop. You don’t have to deal with this alone, and with the right approach this is highly manageable. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

It does seem like panic disorder. It's not uncommon for medical students to have anticipatory anxiety as it's a course which gets progressively tough. But if it is distressing and disturbing enough that it is affecting your life and studies, then it's better to consult the nearest mental health professional and take appropriate action. Help is easily available.
