I found out that I was having anxiety attacks years ago after going to the doctor for chest pain. I was given a prescription but never took them. Depending on your symptoms what worked for me was realizing that it really isn't physical and that the more you worry about the symptom, the worse it gets. Basically just ignore it.
Getting in shape can help you to reduce stress, improve your cardio, make you realize that your body is capable of handling stress and isn't the cause of your symptoms.
I still go through bouts of unrealistic worry occasionally. I think exercising and taking vitamins and supplements can be very helpful.
For instance the B vitamin Inositol is said to be as effective as Prozac and helpful for anxiety and especially OCD.
Get out and exercise in the morning sun light. I have read that morning light is most effective as sun allows your body to switch from melatonin to seratonin production.
There are a lot of books out there on how to feel better naturally.
