I have pretty severe anxiety too and used to get attacks like that. I'm not amazing at giving advice on this kinda thing but I 100% recommend going to the doctor to talk about it. Getting put on medication and being given therapy drastically improved my life. It's good to get that support when you need it and it's terrifying but it's so worth it.
I also recommend a technique I use when dealing with really intense anxiety or attacks. Okay, so you calm yourself down just enough that you can actually breathe and you go through your senses. Attacks like that are often overwhelming and take up all of your concentration, right? So you want to narrow your focus down, make a couple of things the focal point of your attention. And to do that you can count :) I do five things I can see, four things I can touch, three things I can hear, two things I can smell and one thing I can taste. Usually by the time I get down to one, I don't feel like I'm dying anymore.
