Has it helped you to take your diazepam yet? Just concerned that it hasn't yet. Hope everything is ok now.

Panic attacks are very scary but they will not kill you. It's important you remember that. It sounds like you start hyperventilating (over breathing) which will cause the carbon dioxide in your blood to rise and causing dizziness. There are lots of good breathing exercises online and YouTube so have a look.

Incidentally if you did ever pass out from an attack your body would automatically resume normal breathing so you wouldn't die.
