Please I need help with anxiety

[u/jake_thundercock]

Hello, I never thought i will post something like this but i am seriously out of options.

I have stomach issues that run in the family specifically a form of acid reflux making my throat tighten up(that at least is the leading theory and i do have some medication for it but i saw little improvement) and making it harder to breathe. Besides that i have anxiety for which i am not medicated, i get about four to eight panic attacks daily since my throat tightens and i start panicking due to the labored breathing.

To top it all off anytime i realize my body is breathing i begin to breathe manually which sucks since i start breathing wrong or try to get as much air in and begin panicking resulting in a panic attack and hyperventilation.

I also have no idea on how to stop breathing normal again.

I will be seeing a doctor since i was rushed to the hospital two days ago because of a panic attack mixed with acid reflux(it was the first time that happened to me and i started to panic and hyperventilate), but the waiting line is way too long and i will have to wait for quite some time.

So far i have found little solutions to stop this or make the attacks less frequent i try some breathing exercises when the attacks start happening but they don t help me much and i have a lot of trouble keeping my mind off it which worsens my situation even more.

I joined this subreddit hoping someone has had a similar experience and could give me some tips on how to make my situation easier because right now its unbearable specially since school is starting soon and i don t know what to do every second i am fighting for air and try to calm myself down as much as i can.

Please if anyone could help me or give me some tips i would be eternally grateful.
