Have you been to a doctor about your anxiety and panic attacks? If not, I would really advise that you consult with someone and get a referral to a psychiatrist or psychologist to help you manage.

Cut out all caffeine and stimulants, eat a healthy diet, stay hydrated and get some exercise. Even walking for half an hour a day can really help.

I'm super proud of you for rising it out at work - I have been there and it has been so bad that I have had to leave on one occasion. Breathing exercises can really help. I use an iPhone app called relax lite to help me manage my breathing in times of great stress and I also have Valium prescribed to help me through my worst attacks.

Good luck getting through this. You aren't alone.
