when i use to get panic attacks, i felt like i wasn't getting any air in my lungs and was dying. it was horrible, so scary. i think ppl who get p.a.'s get them different. this all started when i was 17 years old. all of a sudden i was aware of my breathing and go right into a attack. i always said they were hell on earth. i was on alot of medicine to help me. alot didn't work. finally i got on 3 and together, it wasn't so bad. about 6 or 7 years ago, they tapered off to none. my doctor said the same thing, they won't kill me, and they won't. i still have bad nerves, but as much as i hate them, any thing is better then panic attacks. i am not a doctor, but you should be on some medicine to help you. i hope you feel better and GOD BLESS.
