I think I just had a panic attack

I've been struggling with health anxiety for a while. Nothing is helping I have CBT read all the self help books.
A week ago I was in the hopsital with suspected clots on the lungs. I had a chest xray and a CT with contrast which ruled them out but I am convinced they either missed it or that I have a clot elsewhere that has moved into my lungs and it hurts to breathe in. I've never ever had a panic attack before. I woke up at 4 this morning in pain and then i just couldn't breathe, was hyperventilating, my lips and hands went tingly and I really had to struggle to breathe my way out of it. It was so scary. Something needs to give because I spend my whole life terrified at the moment and its just getting worse. I dont know what I want from this thread to be honest but my goodness, I can't do this any more.

Ring your gp they will be able to help. You did so well dealing with panic attack yourself. I hate them I can't calm down unless I'm with someone.

My partner was here. He wanted to ring an ambulance but I kept saying no. Im going to ring the doctors today. Something needs to change.
