first panic attack for 5 years

[insideout20]

so i have had anxiety since 16, i am now 32 but i managed to beat it for 5 years and never had any panic attacks, the past 2 years i have had anxiety, loads of strange symptoms etc

this morning on the train i had a panic attack, i could not breathe and went all funny but i didnt completley freak and it passed in about a minute or so.

i guess what i want to know is should i take it for granted that having this panic attack would more or less confirm that i am suffering from anxiety and the symptoms that go with it and not some other disease
