Q: severe ongoing panic attacks

I am a 30 y/o female who has been suffering from (supposed) panic attacks for 14 years. I am not overweight and do not have any other health problems. I have had my blood work done and it came back normal. They went away for about 5 years and are now coming back with a vengeance. They seem to hit for absolutely no reason during the most relaxed times. I am also experiencing major stomach problems and had an upper GI done about 4 months ago. It showed a small hiatal hernia, but nothing else. I do not have a gallbladder (for 6 years now) and have continuous digestive problems. I get so scarred and my heart beats so hard and fast that I almost pass out. My doctor does not like to give medication, so it is hard to get a prescription for Xanax which has worked to calm me down in the past when taken as needed. I am always thinking about death and it seems to get even worse at night and then I can't sleep well. I am sometimes jolted awake by my heart racing. There has been a pain in the middle of my chest that is radiating to my back on the left side. Left arm pain and left leg pain are also a common occurrence. I have seen a pshycologist and it did nothing for me. My doctor will not see me anymore and I feel like I am losing it. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks
