Dear lybrate-user it seems you are undergoing a greif reaction following death of your mother. Try to engage in activities and be with supporting people around. There are good psychological methods to come out of your situation either greif or panic. It will be available from clinical psychologists.

Hi lybrate-user, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I would like you to know that anxiety is normal and healthy in many situations, however, anxiety becomes a problem when it starts affecting your daily functioning. As you have reported high panic issues, it looks like a panic attack. When the intensity of anxiety reaches its peak, it may cause a panic attack. Two of the many symptoms of a panic attack are breathlessness and heart palpitations. I would recommend that you consult a psychologist for counseling. Counseling will help you manage your anxiety for a long term change.
