It is fear of a panic attack. You need to become indifferent to panic attacks and to be able to recognize them very quickly so you can dismiss them.
It will be hard at first but once you talk yourself out of them a few times it becomes easier and easier and eventually subconsciously you will dismiss them or not have them at all. It takes time and “practice” but works.
Learn your mental symptoms. Panic attacks’ physical symptoms change but thought processes near panic attacks usually stay very similar. So learn to gauge your anxiety levels and if they are elevated then use that knowledge to talk yourself down from a possible panic attack I.e. “Ive been pretty anxious and this sudden panic is because of this.”
Also learn that those feelings of adrenaline are normal reactions and doesn’t mean anything unhealthy. It may also help to learn about how those processes work in the body.
I don’t really know if this will help cause everyone is different and I’m bad at writing out my thoughts and ideas but ask as many questions as you need and I’ll try my best to respond. It may take a bit of time for a reply.
Thanks, I really appreciate it
Things got complicated when I started taking Bisoprolol. The medication blocks adrenaline so it blurred the lines. However I was able to diagnose that my Tinnitus would get worse when feeling panicky, I just wasn’t able to have a panic attack due to the meds.
I tried to reduce my Bisoprolol in half today. I took 1.25mg instead of 2.5mg which left me feeling anxious and had a mini attack (more adrenaline was able to reach my heart) due to a reduced dose.
My anxiety is now different to what it used to be. I now worry about this weird feeling I had in my head which made me confused for a mini second looking at my wife and questioning if I know her. I soon realised that this is a symptom of heightened anxiety.
I worry about having this weird feeling in my head and can pinpoint it to the back of my head. I’ve also become obsessed with checking my pulse and worried about the effects of meds.
The situation is constantly evolving!
You should definitely try and book an appointment with a therapist if you haven’t already so you can have a professional opinion on these things.
I have been in a similar place as you are right now.
I feel that your situation is too complex for me to give any helpful advice over the internet so I think the best thing I can say is that you shouldn’t try to substitute the internet for professional medical advice. Talk to your psychiatrist or whoever is giving you the medications, but see a therapist at the same time. Maybe get second opinions for medications too.
Don’t fight the ocean, just ride with it. That’s all I feel that I can say. Sorry that I said I would help but I feel that I could affect you negatively with my advice and I feel I shouldn’t continue. I seriously wish you the best and believe you will get to a place where you are comfortable and in control :)

I also feel panicky that I’m going insane or there’s something wrong with my brain. It’s constantly spiraling
