The heart racing is a result of the panic then. Very common symptom for the disorder. Your young so it might be bumpy for a bit but if you get cleared for klonopin I am willing to bet you will do well. Ive had it for so long I have taught myself when I am having an attack to just wait it out because it cant last forever. Your body can only stay at that level for so long (30-60 minutes tops) Once you recognize its an attack you can deal with it a bit better (proper breathing etc.). For the first several years I always thought I was having a heart attack or some shit.
Keep in mind exercise and proper nutrition is very important as well. Just be sure to ask your doc what you can do being your heart is working harder.
Lastly on my mind now would be to recommend you find out what your trigger is for the actual panic attacks. The GAD is usualy just the result of the panic attacks (your anxious because you don't know when your going to have another attack). The actual panic attack has a trigger(S).
