Know how you feel .. Must be something in the air ... Breathing and pains in my trashed lung ... Might go cheer myself up by going to see gp

Hi David, when you say attacks, do you mean more breathless than usual, or panic attacks? Libby

[Hidden in reply to libby7827]

Both but ii fond counting from1 to 5 and then 5 to 1 over and over again till i

start breathing again .

Hi David, apologies if you've already seen johnwr's blog on breathing, but have put the link below. It helped me enormously when I was having full blown panic attacks and it's extremely rare that I have one any more. Also, my consultant persuaded my gp to prescribe Lorazepam, half a tablet under the tongue during a panic attack, it's a muscle relaxant and slows your breathing down, it was invaluable for me. Also, bizarre as it sounds, I saw a blog on the internet that suggested tapping, just tapping your finger either on a surface or against another finger and, believe it or not, it does help sometimes, I think it's because it gives you something else to focus on.
