HI.
The panic attacks have its own place in such cases . But is is said to be panic attack only if all the investigations related to this problem are normal. IT is a must : I would advise the following - Blood work is already done and is showing elevated liver functions, also go for lipase and amylase; ultrasonography and X-ray chest. Ultrasonography will help to diagnose anything related to liver and gall bladder and all other organs .
This can be a gall bladder problem.
