I feel for you dude.
I burnt out about 4 years ago and it all started when I was really stressed out in a meeting and felt some sort of uncontrollable outer body experience. Thought I was ok the next day but then started to have regular panic attacks.
The main fear for me has always been embarrassment and humiliation - the physical reaction for me is profuse sweating - if you have one where you're unable to escape (like the underground) it's hell!
I'm much more confident I'm in control now after having been through it for so long. I would highly recommend reading up on how and why panic attacks occur, a good audio cd is:

Also reading matter on present moment awareness such as "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. As others have said in this thread you must not buy into it - acceptance is the key - the feeling is essentially fear - let it come and let it pass through you. Use the force!
