I sure can relate! Anti-Anxiety pills don’t seem to be very effective for me! Tai Chi, trying to maintain a calm, home atmosphere help me, to an extent. However, when
one is told that they have a life-threatening ailment, like I was told, and actually went through a scary physical crisis, proving that, then the Tai Chi, and calming atmosphere disappeared, and panic and anxiety took their place! I am trying deep meditation, and concentrating on topics, other than my diagnosis! I refuse to let being scared and anxiety ridden all the time, take over my life! Helping others, challenging myself to overcome panic stricken anxiety, and exercise. such as Dalcroze Eurythmics, are helpful to me, as I pursue a reasonable, practical solution, to overcoming panicky, anxiety ‘attacks’! Wishing you will find a way forward, so that you can overcome anxiety too!

@foundryrat743 I had the same outcome and what once worked , did not the second time. this time around i have a routine i stick to and it brings some closure to my attacks and frequency. keep mymind busy but not so much that i start to get into a seizure mode. then its back off ,a little meditation and breathing exercises to calm the heart rate and kind of raise my feet to lessen the burden on my heart. eventually it comes together. hope something here helped. lastly a prayer and say hi to my angel if i need that extra support.
