anxiety

I've been having anxiety for about 6 long years, almost seems like hell in my case, but let's go back 6 years ago the night the hell started. I was laying in bed watching a movie to try and sleep until it hit me like a point blank gun shot to my chest. I felt pain in my heart like I was having a heart attack and then I couldn't breath for some reason and my thoughts were going a mile a second, so I jumped outta bed like a speeding bullet being shot from a 1911 handgun, so I started to flip out walking back and forth in my house holding my chest trying to feel my heart beat and I did that for 2 weeks straight. i've been finding some methods over the years to help keep my anxiety down, but now for the past 2 months it's been hitting me hard and 10 times worser than before. my methods don't even help anymore to keep me calm.

You would need to be examined by a Doctor to get the help you need.

Are you on meds? In therapy? Do you have any other issues that might be the cause? Health? Stress factors?
There are natural supplements, exercise, meditation, yoga, etc that can help control these attacks...how do you deal right now>?
