Hi James! Sorry to hear you went through that. Were you driving? Was the car hot? Were you hydrating? A lot of triggers can happen when you are in the car, it use to happen to me until I started using deep breathing when I'm driving, when stopped at a red light or a train crossing. The deep breathing keeps the adrenaline at bay as well as making us feel more in control. How are you feeling now?
