Hi
I understand your concern.
I guess it is form of anxiety disorder with panic attack.
To be very frank 1st line of treatment is medicine in this disorders.
The medicine that given to you is appropriate and it will improve all symptoms .
Besides this
You have to do exercise regularly.
Take proper sleep.
Healthy diet.
Keep yourself busy.
DO stress free work and pleasurable activities.
But all this is supportive management and can not replace drug therapy.
so do consideration and get well soon.
Thank you.
