Yes.
I think most anyone who has ever suffered from anxiety and panic would agree that you should definitely seek the counsel of a medical professional.
If nothing else but to verify that your symptoms are actually thought related and not a more serious problem.
So now I assume that you've been cleared of any medical conditions that would cause your anxiety.
With that being said, it's important for you to understand that understanding the issues of the brain may not be your doctors strong point.
It certainly wasn't the strong point of my first doctor or the second doctor I went to.
In fact it wasn't the strong point of any medical professional I saw, including a total of five doctors, and the staff of two emergency rooms.
After the blood tests and EKG's, I found that every time I mentioned my fear or the symptoms, they would either ignore me or reach for their pen to start writing my prescription.
       Don't get me wrong; these people are very smart and educated.
But for the most part, they are educated to understand and treat the symptoms of disease with advice and prescription medicine.
Ask the average doctor about the cure for anything and see the response you get.
Speaking from experience, if you aren't careful you can go down a road of prescription drugs for years with no improvement for your anxiety except for the temporary sedation that a pill can offer.
  Now I won't try to fool you here; I welcomed the pills at first.
I worked in a profession where I couldn't be seen as panicked.
I was willing to try anything.
But I soon realized that I would become a slave to the pills to treat my symptoms without curing my problem.
I refused to become a slave to prescription drugs so I started seeking the natural cure for panic.
  You can also choose to visit a psychologist.
Just be aware that these folks usually make their money by the hour or session.
You could wind up spending months or years unnecessarily searching clues from your childhood.
That wasn't for me either.
I just wanted to be panic-free now, not years from now.
  It's my opinion through my personal experience that dealing with anxiety and panic can best be accomplished with a natural approach of physical fitness and mental reshaping of the thought process.
I do realize there are some people who can't function a normal day without the help of prescription anxiety drugs.
I would never advocate those people giving up those drugs cold turkey.
Only their doctor should help them make that choice.
In fact, you should always consult your doctor before discontinuing any medication.
However, I would say that I found the only way for me to be free was to not be dependent on drugs.
     In short, never try to self-diagnose a problem, psychological or physical.
Always start with your doctor.
It could save your self a lot of time and money down the road and even your life.
However, when my doctor told me there was no cure for panic attacks, I kept looking until I found it.
Had I not kept looking, I would still be carrying that little prescription bottle around in my pocket.
