Do you see a psychiatrist or just a GP? I would see a psychiatrist if I were you if you don't already. You would possibly benefit from more than just one medication if you are only taking one and still having such terrible symptoms. Also, do you see a therapist? I think you would benefit from therapy as well.
The types of medications that have helped prevent my severe anxiety the most were antidepressants (for a while until they made my bipolar worse) and now antipsychotics such as Latuda and Abilify. You may want to talk to your doctor about trying something like that, which could prevent your anxiety in the first place if they are the right medication for you.
If you are already seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist, make sure they know about all your symptoms so you can be properly treated. I hope you start feeling better soon!!
