Donny,
Welcome to SR! It might be a good idea to see a doctor about the panic attacks. I take a tiny dose of a beta blocker and it really helps control the panic attacks. I have a very minor heart condition called Mitral Valve Prolapse. It's not a big deal, it won't shorten my life span at all.
Before I got on the beta blocker, I had monster panic attacks, I think many of them were triggered by my fear of having one! You know how scary they are! Yikes!
Anyway, see your doctor, get a good exam and do tell him about the recent sobriety. And congrats on your time, BTW!
Are you drinking much caffeine? I am very sensitive to caffeine and aspirin. Either one will make my heart pound. Check out the labels of colas, energy drinks and even some foods have enough caffeine to get my heart react.
Stick around SR! Lots of good information here and plenty of great people for support!
Love,
Lenina
