Hello Kenneth, Welcome to AoD. You will find plenty of people who are traveling the same path as you, and they are very kind and supportive. Before we get started we have to tell you as we are not professionals you should see a Doctor if you haven't already. Sometimes there are physical reasons for anxiety, and you also might do well on anti-depressants. How long have you had this, are you able to live your life , are you afraid you are dying? So more information please. I have the shortness of breath and you have to calm down and take deep breaths from the stomach , breath in through the nose slow and steady and out through the mouth slow and steady. The first few times might be sort of rocky, but eventually you'll feel it coming on and can get control before it gets started. The other thing I want to tell you is this, people do not die of anxiety or panic attacks. You have to face these attacks, tell them to do their worst, if you don't they will always be in control. I'll give some others a chance at you now. You can do it. Pam
