If your online and reading. Please just stop what your doing. Sit down and read this, open a window near by, get some cool air, take in deep breaths through your nose yes nose and breathe out slowly through your mouth, Yes this is right because i have had them 30+ yrs now and this is how i was shown and read about it all over and this is what works. If you feel more comfortable standing as i do when im having them then do so. Take the deep breaths to the count of 10 slowly they must be, then release through your mouth slowly to the count of 10 i know its going to be hard if your already going through it but try please and keep this up for about 5 mins if you can. Then i would get a cup of boiling water add lemon if you got any if not just boiling water. This will release any trapped wind which you can often get when your breathing fast, it will also keep your mouth moist. I know its hot but its better than cold, cold is more of a shock to your system and im sure you will be sweating anyway. If you need cold as well then have that as well. I usually just have boiled but i do have the cold water as well. Keep repeating these methods when you feel your breathing going. Let me know if your ok. x

I can be your neighbour on here and hope any advice or help i give is supportive enough. Im here for anyone that needs help during their moments of panic. I know how bad it can be and frightening too so im willing to help anyone i can where i can and when i can. Feel free to message me anytime you want hun. And thank you for the nice compliment. Had to learn a lot over the 30+ yrs i have had them and still got them so everyday for me is still a learning curve, we never know when there will be a break through lol if there ever will be. Here's hoping and im sure one day something will come to light and free us all from this horrible thing we have. x
