@lisalucier- Good morning! Thank you for these links. I will definitely look at these! It took me by complete surprise. I was out to dinner, first in a long time to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. I took my first sip of wine that I was tasting and all of a sudden I felt a cold sweat and gaggy feeling in my throat. My sister and brother-in-law are the safest 2 people in the world to me besides my husband. I just stayed quiet until it passed. But it did put a pall over the dinner.

@merpreb Thank you for sharing with us. Anxiety or panic attacks are nothing to gloss over if you see someone experiencing one. I seem to have a sense for them in others, seeing they are not foreign to me. So I will step out of my own anxiety and figuratively reach out to that person. Sometimes just knowing there is someone who understands and will be in your corner, even for a few minutes, can make the difference. I hope you can repeat the dinner soon, and have a more positive experience.
