First, your acupuncturist needs to diagnose your condition, then he/she can help you to treat your panic attacks. Some have an imbalance of the liver and heart qi, some due to stress and anxiety, some due to hormonal imbalance, some comes because of blood stagnation. All of them have different reasons, and your acupuncturist needs to find it out so she/he can help you with.

Happy New Year!
Acupuncture does help panic attack. You need to discuss with your acupuncturist because panic attack has 5 differentiations.

Yes, Acupuncture can access your autonomic system by balancing your sympathetic nervous system subduing your fight or flight patterns. You need to find what your triggers are and be aware of them as the psychological component.

Whether acupuncture can help and how much acupuncture can help will depend a lot on how severe your panic attacks are.

For severe and/or frequent attacks, it's a good idea to integrate acupuncture with more conventional prescription medications.

For mild or infrequent attacks, acupuncture can often be a stand-alone treatment.
