I have had only one panic attack in 5 years, and stopped it with two mg of Xanax and about an hour of bed rest. It was a very intense and scary event. Since then I have learned to cope with COPD and use various ways to "live with it". These ways include educating myself on the manifestations of COPD, exercise, and just "rolling with the punches".

Was your panic attack due to having trouble breathing with COPD? I can certainly understand how that would be frightening. I once had pleurisy and it was very frightening to not be able to take a breath without extreme pain. Breath is life. I'm happy you have learned how to cope with COPD, and "roll with the punches". Learning has always been helpful for me.
Warmly,
