a word of caution here that may just be coming from my overreaction. get a second dr's opinion to rule out a medical condition. once that is done, acknowledge that it is a buildup of stress and don't try to fight it. if the attacks worsen, seek professional help in managing your stress.

one of my former employees ate a bullet today. after 2 years of fighting his panic attacks and trying to hide them from everyone, it got to be too much for him. he refused to deal with the situation and finally... well, anyway. deal with the cause (stress, or whatever) don't fall into the trap of self medicating the symptoms away.
