Answers:

Does food in general put you into a panic mode because you are fearful of getting sick.? If so, make an appt to talk with a therapist. Did something happen to you as a child that associates food as a negative.? It could stem from your childhood. The only way to get over a fear is to find out where that fear comes from. Once you find out where it comes from, you can work on dealing with the problem.

Emetophobia is a very real disorder and fear. It sounds to me like you have an underlying anxiety problem, especially if you are having panic attacks. You should talk to your doctor or phyciatrist about anti-anxiety medications, which can really help with severe phobias. If you combine that with some sort of therapy meant for people with panic/anxiety disorders, you can lead a much less stressfull life :]
