Dr. Joshua’s Answer:

It does sound like you have had panic attacks. The lump sensation in the throat is related to it. Tell your Mom to take you to the family doctor. The doctor needs to do a physical examination to rule out any other illnesses, and we need to determine if these are just occasional panic attacks brought on by stress or something else, or whether you have panic disorder. He may refer you to a psychiatrist if necessary. There are several treatment options available, including psychotherapy and medication.?
