Hello.....
Thanks for your query. Your episodic anxiety attacks point towards panic disorder patrticularly in light of a normal stress test. I would suggest that you undergo a psychiatric evaluation to assess your anxiety symptoms. The treatment consists of:
1. Anti-anxiety agents like SSRIs
2. Psychotherapy techniques like CBT/Cognitive behavioural therapy.
Yoga, meditation and breathing relaxation exercises are also recommended in this case. Wish you good health.
