panic attack
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question on HealthcareMagic,
I do understand your concern
With such a presentation in my clinic, I would first rule out panic attack as you have already been diagnosed with it and taking medications before going to any other possibilities. So take treatment for it as suggested by your doctor with psychotherapy and medications and do regular exercise or physical activity which may protect you from anxiety.
As you have already done MRI scan and no finding detected so no major pathology present. So nothing to be worried about it at all.
Hope that helps, please let me know if you have further questions before meeting your primary care Doctor.
Thanks and wish you a good health

Thank you so much doctor.
But, is it possible to have a vertigo (upside down feeling) in panic attack? I get pain as well after at back of head and front nose.
Is it panic attack only?
