You know ive gone through it, still am but not as it use to be. Like you i paid attention to every little thing that was going on through my body. I didnt want to go out because i was afraid i was going to get a heart attack/panic attack. With out realzing it i created a safety net around my house, i was convinced that if i stayed home nothing will happen. Like you i saw 4 doctors i fired the first 3 because they heard what was going on from me, after the session all they did was give me pills. The 4th doctor i saw helped me through it all by conversing.
Now our stories are different i was introduced to panics attacks first hand Via a Marijuana Bread. After i ate my bread 45 minutes later i had the biggest panic of my life, my hands and feet(legs too) went completely numb , my heart rate was well over 100 beats a minutes, i felt like i was chocking, i felt that i couldnt breath and i had dry mouth. After that night my panic attacks did not go away i had them for well over 2 years on top of all that i also developed insomnia. So when the doctors saw me they try to put me on anti-depressents , which blindly i took for about 3 weeks, in those 3 weeks the pills made me feel like a zombie, a person with no feeling. So i quit them.
The Last time i saw my 4th doctor the one who helped all by conversing told me , "what are you really afraid of?" i said im scared of getting a heart attack while im out there. Then he said" you know what there is no way to stop that when its your time its your time" now after that last session i dotn know what but something in my brain clicked, or made sense, after that day, i had stopped having panic attacks. But it wasnt over. Panics turned into anxiety disorder and hypochondria. As of today i have 80% under control , How ? By surrounding my self with the stuff i liked doing. What key here is "DISTRACTION" Keep your mind always distracted. Easier said than done right?. Soon you will be able to do the things you use to do and more.
If you feel something going to happen, what i use to do was drive to the E.R parking lot and literally wait there until it was over. Then left home.
Keep us posted.

For me personally it is much worse when I think about my heart beat. If you can find something to take your mind off the anxiety and your heart beat you will be better off.
Talking about the panic attacks and anxiety makes me cry :( I have been dealing with panic attacks since I was in the 8th grade, I have developed anxiety and social anxiety as well within the last 3 years. Some days are worse that others and some days are better. However I have found a way to cope and control my anxiety and panic attacks at least to a certain extent. And although I am not 100 percent cured It has helped me out tremendously and I am starting to get ahold of myself.
I hope this helps somebody out there out because it is something I have wished I could change for nearly 10 years.
It is an excellent read and was very helpful to me :)
