I am going to agree with lizieo and say that doing breathing exercises will really help.

Try to work out what thoughts are making you feel the way you do.
You will always have thoughts that preceed a panic attack and the sickly feelings.
Mine also occur mostly around the 9-10pm timeslot. Once you can identify the negative thoughts you must learn to challenge them.
But first, work out what these negative thoughts are.

Lately mine have been the same time every day between 10 -11am I take ativan. I have not found anything that really works except a small paper bag and breathing in it but it doesn't stop the other feelings.
