I know what you are going through but just hang on. I know your probably thinking you can't go through this again.But you don't know if that's going to happen. You made it through the first time and it helped you to become the person you are now. You are going to be alright, it is not going to be like before. These are the things you need to tell yourself it is important to stay positive. I know fear is one of the worst feelings in the world, but that's what it is fear. That's what's making you feel this way the fight or flight response. You are not going to have a heart attack. There is nothing wrong with your heart. I'm sure you have gone to the doctor just like we all have and they have told you there is nothing physically wrong with you. Believe them. It is true . You are not going to die from this. You said you used meds to get through your first bout with panic. Did you ever look at the psychological side of it. (did you go to any counseling, did you read any books about fear.)Meds might be great at stopping the symptoms(i don't know i never tried them) but noone wants to live on them for the rest of their life. There are alternatives for permanent wholeness.
