I’ve had them ever since I was little and I’ve been on medicine for them for 12 years so far, but they still occur… any suggestions?

   For an extended period of time you have deep breathing and relazation techniques can help.

   I am having one right now and am looking at Yahoo to try to divert myself.
   Usually there is some small stressor. I had a minor row with a friend yesterday but in my mind it is now so big, I can’t breathe, feel sick, and want to cancel my holiday!!!
   I can’t seem to find a cure. tried Valium and therapy!!!!

    sudden feeling of uncertainity.
    getting scared.
    afraid of someone.
    closed space.
    being backed into corner.
    notice a car keeps following you.
    not knowing answer if asked.
    list could go on and on. I have it to.BUT
    if you sit and think could it not mostly be
    from us just being paranoid.

    The night almost continuously until the electric power company arrived at the electric had broke loose when officially panicked.
    The last time that have panic attack is that have panic attacks very often when officially panicked like hippo howling mooing wailing pouting and cursing by using gods name in vain and cursing by using words like crazy first mother fussed at me for.
