wow, you sound just like my boyfriend… who knows… maybe you are!
im not sure how to help you… but just know that there are other people JUST like you out there. youre not alone. but i would see a doctor and psychiatrist asap. my boyfriend takes some medication that helps him fall asleep… but you definitely need to see a doctor to get help.
i sincerely wish you all the best. along with everyone else out there that is suffering from this.

medication is not going to help..you need to find a way to make them stop yourself..i used to have them all the time..its becuse i was thinking about somthing i was scared was going to happen. you just have to try not to think about it. its been a year sence iv been Abel to control mine and i almost have them sometimes still but not very often. maybe like once a month. and only when im bored and am thinking to much. they started going away when i went to the doctor and i asked him about what i was afraid was going to happen and he told me it most likely wouldent and it make me feel alot better to hear it from someone who knows that type of stuff.

I used to have the exact same problem. I still have anxiety in public places, not only schools. The first thing I can tell you and the one thing everyone with anxiety attacks DO NOT want to hear, is ; medication is the last thing you should do. I was on 7 different anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications over the course of 5 years. Some of the side effects were worse than anxiety attacks, and with the others I had added anxiety because I was scared they were harming my body. The best thing you can do is see a specialist. Expensive, but worth it. Find one that won’t demand you be on medication. There ARE specialists who will work through your problems, no matter how long it takes, without putting you on habit forming pills. I found one that changed my life, and you can too. Don’t get me wrong, I still have anxiety when I’m in a large crowd of people or a lot of times when I have to go to work, but compared to the way it used to be? It’s so much better now. I feel completely free without medication and the exercises the specialist showed me help so much. Anxiety is much worse than people think it is. I have severe panic attacks, to the point where my heart rate is through the roof and I feel like an elephant is standing on my chest. But working through them, finding my breath, and gaining confidence is so much better than being on pills. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE trust me on this. If you are an adolescent, then this is especially important for you. You HAVE to work on this, or you will never have a normal life. You can’t let this get you down and ruin your life. If you dwell with it instead of facing it yourself, then it will drag you through the mud every day for the rest of your life. It’s not worth it. I feel like I have gained so much confidence and happiness through doing simple things. You need what a lot of people call an “outlet” in your life. It took me a while to find mine, and it ended up being photography. If you can find something like that (painting, walking, listening to music, swimming, etc.) then it can help a lot to calm you down. Even if I’m not having an attack, I can walk around the park or walk in the woods, taking pictures of the most beautiful things I can find, and I feel completely calm. I really hope this gets better for you. Please don’t give up on yourself. Good luck.
