Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand. When you do some effort, including walking, the heart is supposed to beat faster. That is how the blood (with oxygen and food) reaches every body cells. This is a normal phenomena. But when you have anxiety disorder, you will be able to feel the palpitation (heart beats) even when you are resting. That is because you are being obsessive towards the movements within the body. That is also normal. Nothing to worry.

Panic attack is due to underlying anxiety disorder. You have to address your anxiety first. Talk to a psychological counselor to identify the reason for your anxiety and learn to manage it. Psychotherapy, meditation etc helps in manage anxiety. Mind you, anxiety disorder cannot be cured fully because it is your body's defense mechanism. Take care.

Good luck.
