They were pretty scary the first few times but now that I've been through them and come out ok I know they pass with time. But still they're very uncomfortable.
I'm on two anti depressants which are supposed to help with anxiety so I'm not sure what else my doc can prescribe. I have a phone appt with my psychiatrist next week so I'll tell him about them.
Does anyone have any tips for managing panic attacks?
I’ve suffered from panic attacks for twenty years. I will share more tomorrow, but for now I will tell you that panic attacks are never fatal and suggest you look up grounding techniques. My daughter had a bad panic attack a couple of weeks ago and these exact grounding techniques really helped.
