I'm feeling really worried because I usually get panic attacks and my cardiologist had me go through ECG, echo, TMT, and X-ray, and everything came back normal. But yesterday, I had another panic attack, went to the GP, did an ECG, and was having shortness of breath. The GP said it's just an anxiety attack, but I'm still scared something might be wrong. Could you take a look at my ECG and let me know if everything is truly okay?

I don't have access to any attached files. However, based on your description and the tests you have already undergone, it seems like your symptoms are related to anxiety attacks. To manage your anxiety symptoms, you can try taking Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5mg as needed when you feel a panic attack coming on. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also help in reducing the frequency and intensity of your panic attacks.

I've been experiencing hyperventilation quite often, especially when I'm feeling excited or stressed. It seems to linger in my mind, and when I concentrate on it, I feel like I have some control over it. This usually ends up giving me short panic attacks. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

I've been taking Clonazepam .25mg every day for the last 20 days, and I'm wondering what's the best way to taper off it safely? Also, how long will it stay in my system once I stop taking it? I'm really concerned about doing this the right way and would love your guidance.
