First things first, so speak to someone - your physician/GP for example. 

Things I suggest to my patients:

1. Sleep and sleep hygiene. Duration is not as important as quality of sleep. Read up on sleep hygiene and reduce modern tech use (smartphone, tablet, laptops, desktops etc)

2. Eat healthy meals 3x/day. Avoid any caffeine or fizzy drinks. Caffeine can drive the adrenaline and worsen the fight-or-flight response. Skipping meals also makes this worse

3. Exercise daily. Some people find it “burns off” the adrenaline. You’re doing the “flight” bit of the “flight-or-fight” response

4. Get out of the house and get an hour of daylight each day. Even if it’s cloudy, overcast or raining. 

5. Mindfulness, meditation, simran. Some sort of calming activity daily. Obviously simran has spiritual benefits. 

6. There are apps and websites that offer self-guided CBT to help with dealing with anxiety (and depression). TED talks can be useful too. Sometimes it’s easier to speak to someone in person and work through what’s driving your anxiety and panic attacks

7. Medication has its place but I tend to avoid until you’ve at least started doing the above.

That's very true, at least in my case. When I drink energy drinks my anxiety goes really high!   You start panicking.

Once I drank redbull at work and my anxiety went so flipping high that i had to take time out and sit down.

It's mad What these things do to your body.  Stick to basic healthy food.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
