The fear that you no longer have a grasp on what's real is a psychological symptom which often accompanies the physical ones. If you experience these symptoms then you should seek out the help of your doctor. I suffered my last panic attack on the train, going to work and thinking about my panic attack later, I realized that I must have subconsciously been worried about a task that I had to perform at work that I hadn't done for a while.

These types of solution need to be investigated more because ultimately, you cannot rely on medication as a long term answer.

If your symptoms are severe, and you are unable to stop them on your own, there are medications which your doctor can prescribe to help you combat the panic attacks. There are also natural and homeopathic solutions available for panic attacks, anxiety and stress.
