Panic attack while driving

Question

Asked for Male, 30 Years

Over past few days, I got panic attack in traffic, specially when the traffic is not moving. Eg in a traffic signal. I feel like my leg will lose control of the brake and I will bump into another car. Heart rate also reaches 150. Then I think if I stop, I will halt the traffic behind me. I somehow calm myself down using Music but today I got another panic attack while driving. I also have health anxiety in general. Please suggest a few tips to cope. I am afraid to go to recurring counselling.
