anxiety, actual problem, going insane...I don't know

Hi,
Over the past four months I've had this constant feeling of panic. I am not a panicy person but recently I've started getting a constant fear of everything,it's almost fear of having another panic attack. I've been having what I hope are panic attacks over the past number of months. It mostly happens in the night time. I'm writing this having just had a sensation of my heart stopping for around four seconds then recommencing quickly and heavily. I've started to fear death over the last while and have turned to drink as a solution. Everytime I feel like I'm going to have ""an attack" I have an odd compultion to squeeze my neck.
I get freaked out in the strangest situations and feel like I could die.Havent been to the doctor, hate going and simply don't have time with my finals in a month.

Can anybody help? I'm only 24 and I need some!

Hello,

I also suffer from panic attacks they are now mild compared to before. You should see your doctor and talk to him/her.

Your most likely stressed about your finals.

With me I also have stomach problems due to nerves or HP Pylori.

It seems to me that I fear death, death of parents and loved ones in general. I've had people die that basically shocked our family then later on someone had a stroke. I constantly thinking about life and it's purpose and also probably mid life.

So lately I've been home due to a leg injury and can't keep my mind occupied with positive things. Went from eercising to nothing which is really bad.

My advise seek a doctor talk about cognitive therapy and when you realize it's up to you to snap out of it.

Exercise, rest, be active, eat well talk to friends keep busy in a non stressfull manner things will come around.
