Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you have panic disorder and that would be due to stress or grief reaction. In that case, you need antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine. That would help you to control underline anxiety as well as keep you relax. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. If you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
