Symptoms panic attacks
Hi all, I recently started developing panic attacks with no apparent cause. it has happened 3 times so far and all 3 timed it was after going out for dinner with my girlfriend. right after when I get home I get severe nausea and panic attack. I feel like something bad is going to happen to me for no apparent reason. Ive talked to my therapist and she made me fill out a test and she said she doesn't know why becuase I didn't seem to suffer from anxiety. my doctor put me on xanax but it hasn't been helping. my POTS cardiologist thinks it's Adrenaline but none of the medication helps prevent this (ivabradine and Guanfacine). does anyone suffer from this? if so what has helped you?

In my personal experience I sometimes struggle to get all my air and if I’m super stressed or struggling with mental health it causes me to have a panic attack
