dear Lex, this is a scary beginning that may increase over time, I hope not, but it appears as though you maybe suffering from social-anxiety.
To have a doctor do home visits well that's been a long time as I remember Dad doing these years ago, as well as birth deliveries during the middle of the night.
What you need to do now is to see your doctor again and ask him/her what medication you can take to relieve these attacks.
It seems as though you were feeling anxious abut meeting your old mates, but this happens with social anxiety.
I understand that you have not had a full panic attack for awhile, but now that they are beginning in maybe a small form, then the chances are of them increasing.
Please let us know how you get on. L Geoff. x
