Help please

ive had anxiety disorder for about just under 3 years now and im 16 years old
a couple of months ago i had a really bad experince - i got really hot, my vision went red in the bottom, i was driving with my mum, i felt out of it and weird in my hands tingling and was convinced i was having a seizure which i have had two when i was in rimary school about 8 years ago. it was only classified as petite epilpsy and the dr's ensured me i would grow out of it. since then ive had no health problems other than anxiety. i didnt pass out or have a seiure in this moment only had a massive rash, legs where  jumoing around from being so scared and i was so afraid. we went ot the dr and he did tests and said it was just a panic attack. i still thought otherwise so i enetered into more tests and wnt to hopsital they again told me there was nothing to wory about. for months i had more tests and even an eeg and came back fine and normal. i am seeing a pshyc again but this fear of a seizure is still worrying me. i know deep down there isnt anything to worry about but i cant stop my brain from thinking it . anyone offer me some advice? how can i manage this fter dr's have told me im fn=ine. symptoms are visual distrubances, dizzines, feeling out of it and many more

Hi there. Having a fear of a pending negative incident would be overwhelming for anyone not just you and your very brave and strong. The problem with situations like this is the release of adrenilin. This is the bodys automatic protection  mechinism. Controling your thoughts is all its takes to prevent this from happening as once the adrenilin is released all you can do is hang on till its passes through your body.
So when you start to think about your seizers, immediately get them out of your thinking process. Think about puppies or kittens or simply thank God for the wonder life that have been given to you. Im not pushing any religion but a short prayer to what ever you think created all of this does help.
