Dr GOOGLE is the worst thing anyone can ever do for any "research" into any medical condition.

I've been through a similar problem the last 18 months. Whilst I can't play anymore due to medical issues I started coaching juniors again after being out of it for many years. To start with it was tough and I even had to leave aba games as a spectator often, mostly at half time, due to being in a crowd and thinking too much. Now while it's still there a bit I'm a lot better. I think you will have to take it slowly and build yourself up to more things. One of the ways I found that helped was to have someone to talk to to keep your mind off it whether it be watching a game, shooting around or even a bit of 1 on 1. You will be surprised at how many people have experienced some level of anxiety and be willing to help.
Another thing that helped me was buying a pulseometer that checks your pulse. Whenever I felt my heart was pounding I would just put it on and check it for peace of mind. As soon as I saw it was normal I felt a whole lot better. You can get them on ebay for around $35 and you can carry it around in your pocket anywhere. It's really good because I can logically think it through and rule out the physical and it's my mind playing tricks.
I also see a psychologist regularly and he's been good to just talk to. Your GP can set up a mental health plan and the 1st 10 visits are subsidized.
So my advice would be to just take small steps and build yourself up slowly. It's tough but will get better, there will be setbacks along the way but have a support network in place to help.
Good luck.
