Kinda new to all of this

I have started having panic attacks since my mother passed away 2 years ago. I finally found out what was happening after 3 visits to the ER from passing out from not being able to breathe. I was put through a ton of test because they thought it was a heart problem!

For the last 7 months I've been working with my doctor to get on a medicine that will help me and not make me miserable and that process is even more miserable :( my doctor suggested I find a chat room with people who are also dealing with a similar situation. My most recent medicine option was one that I take when I have a panic attack. This week alone I have had 6 and the thought of waiting until I have another TERRIFIES ME. I am about to start another option. A daily medicine because I can't handle sitting around waiting on another attack. Am I the only one feeling all of this? My husband tries to understand but he can't, and neither can anyone else around me. They don't know the feeling, and I feel absolutely crazy because of it.

Thank you! I definitely will take a look for that. It's absolutely miserable and I will try anything. I am about to start seeing a therapist, so hopefully I will learn how to deal with it.
