Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Agoraphobia, Acrophobia, severe anxiety and panic disorder, are common problems. You have nothing to worry about the cure. The cure is certain. The best method of treatment is initially with the help of psychiatrist (If the problem is too unmanageable. Otherwise, you can directly approach a clinical psychologist). Then you should consult a clinical psychologist. Clinical psychologist helps you with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The therapy may take months according to the severety of the case. But cure is certain.

As starting steps, Please do the following:

Step 1 - Practice Deep and full breathing whenever possible
Step 2 - Drink plenty of water and fruit juices.
Step 3 - A Tomato a day keeps anxiety at bay
Step 4 - Exercise regularly

Start these and follow strictly. After 7 days If you require more of my help in this aspect,Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
