that impending feeling that someone is behind you and telling you to hurry up, i do believe is the root cause. it's about taking your life back from this imaginery person which is really the voice of teachers, bosses, parents, telling you to tow the line. you have to replace it with 'i will do what i want when i want. of course, this is easy if you have your own business but even then, the customers become the voice.

Hi Irma! I am very sorry to hear you too suffer from this condition! Are you seeing a doctor? There are some great meds that have really helped to lessen the severity of the attacks, for me. Therapy has given me the skills to understand why and gain a little control. There is help out there! Please try it!
I have these same attacts but only they lost longer,i feel like i will die now in that moment and i start to stress myself more thinking what will happen to my kids cause they are the only people i have and they are so small
Hi rachomin I know how scary thesepanic attacks are too. I have had a panic anxiety disorder from a very young age. It may sound funny but when you panic try not to let the panic engulf you. Try slow deep breathing it helps me immensley and also open spaces going for a walk helps me too. Unfortunaelty I can;t take medication as I.m on comaudin a blood thiiner and it interacts, but I know that they are medications that may be able to help. Maybe have a good talk with your dr. Take care Piglti

These attack come on you when you are s tressed and when you are relatively calm. Your blood pressure rises and your heart races and you think you will die, but in about 30 - 40 minutes you are "normal" again. Been going through this for years and it is scary but haven't really found much that helps but a little time.People tell you to relax but that is something that will happen as the attack goes away=a little hard to turn off and on!!!
