How to overcome panic attacks and breathing difficulties due to traumatic events in the past?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have experienced traumatic events in the past two years in school. My forehead hurts whenever I talk about that traumatic event, my body shakes out of nowhere, I get panic attacks, and I find it hard to breathe. I also have a hard time sleeping, and I often just get lost in space, emotionally sensitive, overthinking, and feeling alone. I feel like everyone just thinks of me badly just like what happened to me in the past.

You need to follow the below lifestyle for it and you must do the following blood reports and follow-up. You should start doing relaxation exercises daily. It will help you to relax. You should do some exercise like going for walk and spending quality time with friends. Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking. Take enough sleep at night.
