I've had problems with this for years as well. Same issue probably except that in my case MSG isn't the only culprit. Caffeine and cheese seem to bring it on as well. It probably is panic attacks, but they are biochemical in origin and can triggered by stimulants (MSG) and may well be connected to allergies. I tend to have more of these attacks when I am inundated with allergens; mold is a particular trigger. Regardless, you're doing the right thing getting checked out. But don't believe anyone who tells you that panic attacks are in the mind only.

I've had the heart checks as well and many other tests. So far nothing definitive has been found. I think perhaps that the diagnosis of "panic attacks" is a catch all for mysterious allergies.

Very,very true especially with sinus related allergies that damage a persons Vestibular System. 12 years and counting disability from it. The Stimulus-sensitive Myloclonic Seizures from it aren't by any means a fun part of it either. It's likely the number one most overlooked cause of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The anxiety is not triggered by fear but by certain stimulations usual audio but can be visual as well.
