    100% you'l be fine. I had all similar symptoms and talked to some great therapists after all the medical tests found nothing. One therapist really gave me some insight by saying there's such a wide range of 'people types' she said to me of 'do you think sociopaths suffer from anxiety'? 'Of course not' and most people are between sociopath and severly anxious have so have a balance. Some people like us are more prone to worry. It's nature. We have to use insight to dispell it's power. Keep saying you don't care about being anxious, just be an observer. Don't care if your anxious, don't care if your not. Allow yourself to be anxious and say I don't care, as a panic attack is happening, say to yourself I really really don't care. When you've sort of lost all hope it stops happening basically. I'm free of mine because I genuinley don't care if I feel panicky or anxious. I love me, I'm a kind good person! So what that I'm ultra sensitive! Tell yourself all these things. Absolutely you will be fine.
