  try to figure out when u get these 'panic attacks' and try to figure out if there is something that triggers it.
  learn techniques to try to calm yourself down like breathing exercises etc.
  see if you can figure out what are the 'symptoms' of these attacks. (i.e do you get a headache before you get panic-ky? etc)
  at any point (while having the 'symptoms', during the 'attack' or after), tell yourself that although it feels like u might die or get a heart attack or whatever, you won't actually die or suffer from a heart attack.
  
  if it's really affecting your life, go see a doctor. most people dont need meds to deal with this as therapy is usually good enough to help

  See a doctor. They will be able to treat you properly.
  
  If they can't attend to your psychological mindset, then they will probably prescribe medication to help you. Drugs like muscle relaxant and stuff will probably help.
  
  Does this happen since young or just recently? Maybe certain major events happen that resulted in this? Anxiety could attribute to it too...

  i guess i have been having this since i was young..maybe one little incident which i can recall, when i was 8,where i was playing with my cousin,our granmas house was atop a hill,when i accidentally push him down from atop the hill..he was paralysed and need a wheelchair for nearly 4 years,broken legs for 2 more years..now hes okay but now hes been a fat guy upon medication..i think since this incident ive bcome a nervous and panicky person..maybe its some kind of trauma,it made me such a coward..
