Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your mothers clinical symptoms are suggestive of panic attacks and anxiety neurosis. Her major investigations including MRI and CT scan of head, as well as other investigations are normal, which rules out any serious problem with the heart or brain. As of now, she needs a psychiatric evaluation. Starting her on antianxiety medication such as clonazepam would help. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
