Hi johnninz,

You are so right when you say you feel panicky. That's exactly what's happening, you're having excess anxiety and panicking. Something initially gives you some anxiety and you respond by increasingly more anxiety until your heart and lungs are in pain. This cycle seems to be occurring endlessly, over and over daily. The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way! You can change it and stop this over-reaction to the initial anxiety.

You can try some self help methods or see a psychologist or a counselor. I'm not too sure that many psychiatrists have the training needed to help you out with this. I'd ask if they do before making any appointment with a new doctor.

I have a long list of self help methods of getting rid of anxiety or getting it under your control if you'd like to have it.
