I havent taken the time to read all the posts but I am sure by the amount of pages ALOT of people deal with panic attacks.
I have suffered for about 8 years with them...TERRIBLY!! I have never taken any prescription meds for them for personal reasons. I read and read and learned lots of breathing techniques and they went away for a couple of years. Recently for some unknown reason they came back...fast and furious!! I can hardly drive anywhere and driving in the dark is impossible!!! So far driving has been the only thing to bring them on...and when it happens I feel like Im going to drive right into traffic or off an overpass...its BIZARRE!! I have to pull over and pull myself back together before I can drive any further...sometimes pulling over 10 times in an hour. I used to get them when I was just sleeping and luckily they havent come back when I am at home as that was even worse...its so scary and my husband has no clue what I am going through...I try to explain it the best I can but he still doesnt get it...wants me to get help...but I REFUSE medication for it and hope and pray it goes away once more...
