<human>: I just started University this October and up until then had never suffered (never knowingly anyway) from panic attacks. I'm generally quite a shy person but ironically find it easy to socialise and make friends. I live in accommodation on campus and share a flat with some great people of whom are after only 3 weeks some true friends. 

My big problem is as soon as I step out of my flat to go to classes. My lectures consist of around 300 students and require no input whatsoever so I can just sit and listen. But for some reason I panic. All the common symptoms, dry mouth, sweats, racing heartbeat, hot flushes, severe nausea. It's ridiculously difficult to sit in the lecture hall let alone concentrate. I also suffer these panic attacks in seminars aswell (smaller groups of around 15 people) even though I have friends in the classes and should feel comfortable. I have just started taking Kalms to try and help the situation but so far no good. 

Has anyone else suffered similar to me? If so what can I do? I feel as though I'm happy here and really want to do well but I can't overcome mainly the nausea which is crippling me. 

I'm in a rut, feel quite lost and am questioning my mental strength to go through life, if I can't sort myself out now what's the point in going through life like this.

I need you reddit, what are my options?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I've just started to suffer from panic attacks at university, I don't know what to do. I'm stuck and can't go on like this
