Hey there,

Sounds like you're going through a really tough time. I'm sorry to hear that anxiety's playing tricks on you like this. It's good to hear that you've been keeping up with your health checks, though, that's such an important step.

So, you know, Ayurveda's all about finding balance. Panic attacks and anxiety might be related to a Vata imbalance. This dosha governs movement and activity, including mind and nervous system. It might sound a bit artsy, but think of Vata as wind – when it's off kilter, feels like a storm in your head, right?

Even you're already trying ashwagandha and brahmi, maybe upping your regimen a little could help. Let's focus on routine — Vata likes consistency. Try waking up and sleeping at the same times every day. I've seen clients benefit from starting their day with a warm oil self-massage (called abhyanga). Ya, sounds weird but helps calm the nervous system. Use sesame or almond oil, warm it a little, rub all over in circular motions. It's like a big hug for your dosha.

For diet, I would suggest sticking to warm, nourishing foods – think soups and stews, cooked veggies, and whole grains. Avoid raw and cold foods if you can, they can aggravate Vata. 

Breathing exercises are also a thing. Pranayama can be quite a boon here. Start with Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), 5-10 min a day if you can – it's both balancing and calming.

Professional help like therapy or counseling would be smart alongside ayurvedic routines. Your body's just asking for a bit of peace from every avenue you can muster. Stay in tune with what feels right and don't hesitate to reach out again if you need. Take care, okay?
