I have/had pretty bad panic disorder. There were times I panicked all night and didn't sleep at all. I also wouldn't leave the house, and ended up at the emergency room a few times. I tried therapy, medication, etc.. Meditation is the only thing that worked. It has really helped me in many other ways, also. In case no one else has recommended it yet - I highly recommend a 10-day Vipassana meditation course: https://www.dhamma.org https://www.dhamma.org They are free and not affiliated with any religious organization. But be warned - it isn't easy! I like to call it "meditation boot camp." It breaks you down, but you grow and learn from the experience. It really is one thing you can try that can have a significant impact on your life and change its course. It is a unique experience - you can't read or write or speak for 10 days.
