Hello! 
So my partner (29, male) of eight years has had panic attacks for a few years now but he also suffers from anxiety in general from what I can tell. His panic attacks seem to mostly be triggered by things related to his health. For example, he had a pain in his chest today and it triggered a panic attack. I think he might actually be a real hypochondriac. He’s gone to the ER multiple times because he thought he was dying and it just turned out to be a panic attack. 

I don’t want him to feel like this anymore. It makes me sad. I want him to be able to live his life normally again. I ALWAYS try and be there for him, but I’d be lying if I said it’s not draining for me too sometimes. 

He also has a stressful job which doesn’t help. His anxiety definitely got worse when he moved up in his career and had more responsibility. 

We had a discussion today and I told him that I really think he needs to seek help at this point and get on medication. He refused this in the past but he seems open to it now. 

If you suffer from panic attacks/anxiety (*not depression*) and can relate to this, which medication has worked best for you?

Thanks so much!
