Panic attacks

[jasking]

Hello

I have been suffering from panic attacks for about 8 years now and just lately they have become quite severe. When it first started the doctor put me on Seroxat but this did not suit so he then tried Lofepramime which worked vey well. I have been on and off of it since but this latest occurrance the Lofepramime has not worked and he has tried Sertraline then half enderal but none of them agreed with me so he has now put me on Diazepam. The symptoms that I have are breathlessness,dizziness,discomfort in my chest and the feeling that I am going to faint although I have never fainted. I had one episode which put me in hospital. I can have several attacks during the day and it can end up making me quite exhausted. The attack that put me in hospital was possibly a bad reaction to the Sertraline. Does anyone else have these kind of symptoms and are they just normal symptoms of panic attacks? When I have these attacks, they make me feel generally very unwell.
Thank you.
