Singer Ellie Goulding says she had to seek help to deal with her frequent panic attacks.

The 26-year-old 'Burn' hitmaker got her first panic attack on a train at the age of five when she felt as though she was having a stroke, reported Contactmusic.

"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," Goulding said.

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

The singer said the attacks do not trouble her anymore.
