Hi,

First of all, you should do some investigations such as thyroid function tests, an ECG and an ECHO on your heart, besides kidney function test. Second, you could take short-acting benzodiazepine for 1 month, besides psychotherapy to treat anxiety and panic attacks.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
