Singer Ellie Goulding, who used to suffer panic attacks, says cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helped her to get rid of the problem.

It all started when the 26-year-old was travelling in a train at the age of five and she felt she was having a heart attack. It turned out to be the first of many terrifying incidents, which left her terrified to go anywhere, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"From that day, I kept having them. It was the weirdest time of my life. Sick, horrible things would go through my mind, but I didn't want to draw attention to myself... It got to the point when I couldn't even get into the car and go to the studio," said Goulding.

"I went to see an amazing woman to have CBT and she flushed everything out. It took a lot of going back to my childhood," she added.
