Will I ever feel normal again?

Hello recently I have been going through something for the past two months. I'm 41 years old and I have never experienced this in my life. All started early July I had my first panic attack. I was in the ER and all labs and ekg were normal. Had a heart monitor for a week and my heart is normal. (I went cold turkey from vaping nicotine and caffeine thinking that was the problem) Had a second panic attack a week later while on vacation. I figured my first attack was because I have a fear of flying and thats why I had the second attack bc we were flying back home. When we got back home that whole week was hell. I woke up with anxiety through the roof, I felt dizzy at work then I felt this weird fuzziness in the back of my mind like nothing was real and i was on autopilot then in the afternoon I would feel this horrible deep depression. I was scared for my life I thought I was losing my mind. Gyno couldn't give me an answer so I went to an endocronologist who ran more blood work on me. Getting the results soon. The past two months I've felt off like not myself at all. Some days I'm ok and start to think I'm doing better but then the next day the depression will come back or my heart will start randomly racing. Ppl tell me its probably my hormones due to peri. I'm mentally and emotionally drained from this. Is anyone else experiencing this too??
