Am I getting over my anxiety?

Am I getting over my anxiety?

For the past few months, I've been suffering from a range of different symptoms including:

Numbness
Dizziness
Panic attacks
Pressure in my head
Numbness on one side of my head and face
Feelings of hyperactivity as if I need to be moving around constantly
Numbness across my chest
Twitching

All of these symptoms appear to go away as soon as I take my mind off them.  And they only appear to occur in a public place or in stressful situations. I've visited a neurologist who diagnosed me with suffering from anxiety attacks.  Since then I have begun listening to medical hypnosis, eating more healthily, and trying to get regular exercise. Quite recently, I appeared to be suffering a lot less than I was.  I very rarely suffer from panic attacks.  However, I do still suffer from occasional numbness across my chest and also sometimes a little bit of dizziness or pressure in my head. My neurologist told me that she does not believe that there is a neurological problem because if there was, the numbness across my chest would only be on one side and not both.

Is it possible that I am beginning to overcome my anxiety? I have had no help from any medications, just the use of my own personal methods of staying calm such as medical hypnosis, deep breathing, long soaks in the bath, and being healthy in general.

Should I expect the rest of the symptoms to go away soon?

If it is necessary I am a 16 year old male weighing 119 pounds.  5 feet 3 inches tall.
