I experimented with strengthening my brain and nerve chemistry with omega3, B vitamins, vitC. Also blueberries at breakfast in cereal. Also, tapping. Some are finding relief with cbd's. We just have to keep working the problem until we find what helps us. I appreciate how debilitating they can be. Less sugar.

@alexsansdieu, Hi there. I had a panic attack last year that lasted the entire night. I had never had one before and thought for sure I was having a heart attack. My heart beat per minute was at 160 and would soar up to 180 and stay at these rates for six hours or more. I felt like I wasn't getting any air and was suffocating. I have a pulse oxometer and I checked both heart rate and oxygen levels. It showed that I was getting oxygen, yet I thought I was suffocating. It got so bad, that at 7:00 in the morning; I called an ambulance and went into the hospital. I was put on an IV with some kind of drug that stops and then restarts your heart. I told my dr at Mayo Clinic about what happened and he explained that panic attack such as what I had are not brought on by thought process but rather faulty wiring where the brain does not detect oxygen coming in. I do have several lung diseases, one being COPD, so there may be a connection with that. He prescribed Alprazolam, which is a sedative for me to take if I ever felt a panic attack coming on. I did get one more attack like that about five months ago. I took two of the sedatives and was able to avoid a trip to the E.R. I hang onto and guard these meds with my life because I do not want to experience another full blown panic attack. It was terrifying. I hope you can get some relief from your attacks. Will you please check back and let me know if you were able to get meds for it?
