Had a cup of Tea at office with snacks but that too triggered a panic attack in front of seniors and now i am embarassed about my mental health

Advice Needed

Will this go on as it for my whole life, i avoid tea, coffee, coke as it triggers my panic attack but if taken with snacks, the later two doesn't impacts much (i thought).

​

Ended up triggering my attack, any hogh pitched voice directly hitting in heart, the conference room suddenly felt too suffocating, cold, hot, nonbearing.

​

took Provanol but needed 10 mins alone to let it pass.

​

will this go on for life?? People at my office and officeboy finds it weird that I don't take tea/coffee instead i go for just Milk.

​

I am feeling embarassed about it now, family and friends understand it but strangers, coworkers, partners, managers won't understand it.

​

I fear this might turn into some Maniac attack someday (if kept suppressed).

​

what should i do, i have literally zero idea

​

please help if anyone has gone through this.
