Hi.

I understand your concern.

Need to go for cardiac evaluation and if it will come normal then we will think and consider it as panic attack.

Psychological evaluation is necessary to diagnosed it as panic and anxiety attack.

It ccan be treated with medicine and behaviour therapy.

In Medicines, combination like SSRI and benzodiazapine will be useful.

In SSRI low dose sertraline / escitalopram / peroxetine can help.

Anxiolytic can be taken as and when require.

Behaviour therapy /yoga/meditation /relaxation methods /deep breathing /proper sleep and diet can help.

Glad to help you further.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
