Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Panic attacks generally are accompanied by breathlessness, palpitations,anxiety and feeling of impending doom. If I were your doctor, I would have given you a sedative like Clonazepam to alleviate your anxiety. This is a prescription medicine and would not be available over the counter,I would suggest you to consult a psychiatrist for this problem and if this problem persists,you can also try breathing exercises and other stress relieving techniques.

Hope I have answered your query.
