I am sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble.
With panic disorder, at least 4 of the following symptoms suddenly occur within ort period of time:
Shortness of breath, Dizziness, Pounding heart, Tremling, chills or hot flashes, Feeling of choking, Nausea or upset stomach, Numbness or tingling, Chest pain or discomfort, fear of dying, Fear of losing control, Feelings of unreality.
Xanax is on of the medications used to treat panic attack, however this medication is associated with dependence and addiction, therefore its always recommended that is used for short period of time. Other medications are also used, such as an antidepressant called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).
Behavioral therapies such as relaxation techniques, pleasant mental imagery may be found very helpful in patients with panic attacks. I would recommend seeing a specialist being that you Primary care physician has not been so helpful.
The following link is of a website that has pretty much everything you need to know about physicians in Texas.
