How to overcome panic attacks and socialize normally?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have symptoms of heart attack, shortness of breath, chest pain, lightheadedness, numbness, and tingling. I am told that it may be a panic attack and panic attacks have fearful feelings and dread. It occurs to me any time whether, I am happy, sad, or angry it does not matter. I have not socialized in the last 20 years due to this problem.

Please help me.

Thank you.
