We get calls for panic attacksallthe time. If you have seen a doctor and had it confirmed that you do have an anxiety disorder then follow your physicians suggestions. The Rx Xanax is sometimes is used. If you have never been diagnosed as having a panic attack, I would suggest you call 911 and have EMS evaluate you while you are having the symptoms. Sometimes, it can be a cardiac event such as paraoxsysmal tachycardia or other another dysrhythmia. The medics can do an EKG to help rule this out. If you feel short of breath and very anxious AND have numbness and tingling around your mouth and fingertips or your fingers are having trouble moving (Hyperventlation Syndrome) you can try breathing into a paper sack to help from blowing off all your carbon dioxide. But, the best answer is to call 911 during your symptoms to maybe find the cause. I am a licensed Paramedic. We get calls for panic attacksallthe time.

When you start feeling the beginning of the anxiety--try closing your eyes and picturing some place that is relaxing and fun for you--hard to do sometimes--try taking deep breaths--slowly in through your nose and slowly out through your mouth--Klonopin is great for panic attacks--some of the newer antidepressants also work well with anxiety and depression without making you sleepy--call your doctor. try to stop it before it becomes full blown–a panic attack although seems like it lasts forever it typically lasts 10 minutes or less.
