I can only speculate, but since the panic attack occurred four nights after the run, I would tend to look for other causes. Running will release endorphins, which generally are thought to relieve stress rather than cause it, but in any case they should have returned to normal levels after the four days.
The only other potential cause that comes to mind would be if the neck/spine pain worsening is causing mental as well as physical stress. If you are still seeing a therapist or MD for the neck/spine pain it’s worth bringing it up with them.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.
Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
