10 Hour anxiety attack

Last week my mums dog had a bad cough and booked him in for a vet visit later in the day. The whole day I was so worried and imagining the worst ( reading worse case scenarios from the internet made me a hundred times worse). I spent the whole day imagining the vet saying he had lung cancer, heart disease or that he’d have to be put down and I started suffering from one of my worst anxiety attacks that lasted hours and I felt very close to collapsing.

The panic attack subsided once he was back from the vet and she said he just had a kennel cough that would go away on its own without treatment. :)

I over thought the situation so much that I completely blew it out of proportion and suffered greatly for it.

Has anyone else suffered from a panic attack for this amount of time and does anyone have any advice for me please?
